is eth0 the wireless device or a wired ethernet port? If its a wired ethernet port then its pretty clear that the module for the card has not loaded, because otherwise it would have created a network interface. do the following: unplug the device dmesg -c plug in the device dmesg tell us what the second dmesg says. also what can you tell from /proc/bus/usb? ummm i assume you do have hotplug installed and running? > > > I updated my baselayout and all that as well.
