All in all, the whole thing IMHO is a real mess. Thanks anyway for your notes. I have also noted in /var/log/syslog the following error message about hotplug: /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: setup usbcore for USB product 0/0/0 modprobe: can't locate module usbcore /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver usbcore I do have usbcore not as a module but built directly into the kernel. Do you think I can simply ignore the message or do I need to compile usb support (usbcore) as a module ?? -- saluti, Mauro On this machine no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
