This sounds exactly like the problem I was having a while back. Peter Hardy pointed me in the right direction, and I'll quote from his message: "This looks like the device described at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1303 but I can't be sure without checking the device ID. Use lsusb from a sommand line, or the usbview tool to get the ID for your drive and compare. If not, searching the working devices list for that ID should hopefully dig up what you're looking for. If that is it, then according to that page the device works well after editing a source file and compiling a new kernel." ... so my suggestion would be, check your device in that database at qbik.ch, and see if you can find anything. In my case, I was using Libranet with kernel 2.4.19, yet it wasn't recent enough - moving to 2.4.20 solved my problem. Good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have always tried to live in an ivory tower, but a tide of shit is beating at its walls, threatening to undermine it." -- Gustave Flaubert -- 21:32:21 up 6 days, 6:30, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.09, 0.04-- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
