Hi Omer, This could be from the "hotplug" script not knowing what to do with your dongle.
My suggestion would be: 1. see whats your system writes to /var/log/messages 2. rmmod the module and modprobe it while the device is connected. By doing modprobe, it should do all the stuff needed (create device, show the device name in /var/log/messages) and show some status about it. Hope this helps, Hetz On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:55 PM, Omer Zak <[email protected]> wrote: > Using lsusb, the dongle in question identifies itself as: > ID 050f:0180 KC Technology, Inc.
