OK, I tried that. /var/log/messages gave me this message: Dec 22 12:16:57 mobile kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2 I waited for over 30 secs and nothing showed up in /media/. > If it doesn't work, may your camera really needs a driver.

Ahhhhh, jeez...how does Digikam know what USB device to use?? Even though I accomplished my task, I'd still like to know what /dev entry corresponds to my USB port (for future reference). -- C
