I have a Freecom FS-1 USB CDRW device. When I forst plug the device in it does not work. I do an lsmod and all the modules are loaded i.e. sd_mod scsi_mod usb* (including usb-storage) etc.. However, if I do: rmmod usb-storage insmod usb-storage then it works. Anyone encountered behaviour like this before / know a fix to automate the process?
