No, it does not work ! Are you sure that it can not be due to a bug of Fedora Core 2.6.5-1.358 ?
Is-there something else that bI could try to do to understand the problem ?
Steph:
I will connect my USB 2.0 DVD/CD-RW external drive and see what modules load up for it this evening. I was able to use this drive to backup and restore information even with that kernel release.
What is the name of the drive you are using? This may be why the drive is not recognized as being a cdwriter rather than a cd reader only.
James :
I think that I use a "generic" driver because the name of the driver seems to be "none or built-in" : perhaps this generic (?) driver is only for "cd-reader-only" ???
By the way, the name of my external USB 2.0 cd-rw is "Lacie Slimtype Combo LSC-24082 K" which seems to be similar to http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10392
and Lacie does not offer any linux-driver support of course ... .
