What do you mean with recognize?  The Ben is not recognized like a
USB-Stick or MP3 Player.  It is *not* going to show up as a hard drive.

Instead it provides a USB network device.  If you type

/sbin/ifconfig -a

a new device named "usb0"  should be listed when the Ben is plugged in.
Here is a more detailed description of how to set this up:

Please feel free to ask more questions.

cheers,
