did you do dmesg after plugging the device. Check if linux is able to identify the vendor and model number. Also, if this is one of the cheap taiwanise device then you might have to tweak the modprobe params. But unless you post the output of dmesg, post plugging the device no one can help you. regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
