It does indeed sound like you've got a bad connector. How many different USB devices did you try hooking up? Are you sure it's the board and not the device?

Soekris is good about supporting their hardware. -Philip Mike Kelly wrote: > Hi all, > > I originally posted this over at the Soekris tech mailing list, but > Darrick Hartman suggested that I give it a shot here too.
