This sounds like the driver for that usb device is not in the kernel. Do a tail -f /var/log/messages when you plug it in and see if it says something like "not claimed by any driver". If this is the case, you would need to update the kernel for it to work (if it is supported in a newer kernel), or wait til it is supported. If there is no driver support in the kernel for that device, it is not SuSE's fault, nor even the kernel developers, but the manufacturers. I'll bet it came with drivers for Win98. With Linux they don't even need to distribute their driver, just give the kernel developers the info they need to support it. - -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
