Hello Grant, I've had similar device issues with hardware attached to the pci bus. I found this obscure command that updates the master list of pci device "id" on a gentoo system: /usr/sbin/update-pciids This may help: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/198486 Maybe there is such a script for usb buss related numbers, or the ones posted for your devices need updating? It's a shot in the dark, but may give you and idea on what's misaligned with that particular device? hth, James
