Seeing as I recall the original poster mentioning that there were a new Linux user, these might be a handy hints: "ls" is the command used to list files and directories on Linux. "lsusb" has added to a familiar command name, as something that lists USB information. "lspci" has done a similar thing, this time with PCI (the card slots on the motherboard, or built in hardware that acts the same as plugged in hardware). There are a few other "ls..." commands, and you can find out about them by reading their man pages. e.g. In the command line, type: ls Then hit tab a couple of times, and you'll see what it finds that begins with ls. Then you can use the man program. e.g. man lsusb And seeing how we're discussing added hardware. The "dmesg" command is another useful tool. You can type it before, and after, adding hardware, and look for changes. (Probably) anything different will be related to what you've connected. Although, there's also the chance of some other simultaneous event just happening to occur at the same time. You can repeat the experiment to double-check. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
