first thing you want to do is make sure the correct modules are loaded for your usb controller. to do this run: $ lspci -vv | less -S look for OHCI or UHCI and possibly EHCI. once that is determined, run: # modprobe uhci_hcd or # modprobe ohci_hcd and possibly (if you have USB 2.0) # modprobe ehci_hcd next: # -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
