Desktop and Laptop both have Debian Testing installed and up to date; both with self-compiled kernel 2.6.32.
I have a CurrentCost electricity usage monitor which is normally connected to my desktop via USB and is working properly. When the unit is plugged in I get a number of lines in syslog like so: kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 kernel: pl2303 4-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected kernel: usb 4-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 I am trying to get this same device working on my laptop but this time I see the following in syslog: kernel: pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver but nothing else i.e no 'attached to ttyUSB0'. Looking in /dev there is no ttyUSBn Whereas the desktop also loads the pl2303 and usbserial kernel modules automatically when the device is connected the laptop does not and when I load them manually I get only the above mentioned line in syslog. When the USB device is plugged in there is apparently no reaction from the operating system on the laptop when watching /var/syslog using 'tail'. That, I think, is the main problem. Other USB devices on the laptop do work. Needless to say the software which monitors the device won't connect.
