Hi: I believe I am having problems with HAL. After rebooting my computer I can no longer access my DVD drive, can't access any usb storage drivers, and I must manually start my ethernet card with ifconfig & dhclient. I've used hwinfo to confirm that the system recognizes all of these devices. I can't find any good documentation on HAL and how to determine whether it is allowing access to a device. I had been messing around with mtp support software earlier and remember changing some of the HAL configuration files to attempt to get a samsung p2 media player to work with amarok. Can any anyone point me to good documentation or tools for HAL - or if someone knows the answer to my problem. Thanks, Gord -- Gordon J.
