What kernel you are running? Run "uname -a" and it will tell you. It is likely that you have a different kernel from what the driver was compiled for. If so, you need to rebuild the driver (if possible). Or to use a different kernel. > Anyhow when I plug in the USB adapter and run dmesg I get: > > hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 1 > usb.c: USB device 1 (vend/prod 0xd5c/0xa001) is not claimed by any > active driver. > > This is all well and good.

This is a less charted territory, but if you want you can change the product codes in the driver to match your device. Vendors are required to use their own codes, so this is not something unusual. After you rebuild the driver to match your device then the new driver should work. Dmitri
