Ok, I have tried to fix this using what information was available on the FAQ and the hotplug website but to no avail. Please bear with me as I explain.
I installed Vector Linux 3.2 SOHO (Slackware) and then downloaded and installed the 2.4.21 kernel so I could get my Lucent winmodem to work. Now I was trying to make our Laplink USB network to work which I found could be done. My problem? When it is booting it sees all of my usb ports but only gives a driver to my wacom tablet. So I checked everything. I got the kernel compiled with all the correct options from what I've read, /etc/fstab is mounting the proc system on /proc, it does have the line to mount usbdevfs to /proc/bus/usb (which fails since there is no usb directory in /proc/bus), etc. Well, I installed the latest usbutils (which after installing still said there was no usbmodules or lsusb command), the latest hotplug scripts (the 2003_05_01) and the latest modutils packages. I rebooted to see if maybe the /proc/bus/usb would appear but it didn't. It also gave me a kernel error in stab.c (I think), said it couldn't hotplug pci devices, gave an error in one of the usb hotplug files, assigned addresses to two of the plugged in usb devices but said they weren't claimed by a driver, said it found the usb bus with 4 ports and then just sat there. I never got a login prompt. I do not have it loading into the X window system. Could someone please tell me how to get this to work? It is frustrating that I can get my tablet to work but nothing else and all I can find on the net is to look in /proc/bus/usb which doesn't exist. I tried to do what was said in the FAQ to get it to work and ended up crashing the system. NOTE: I am not subscribed to the mailing list. I'm mailing in my Win2k OS right now and probably won't subscribe until I get my Linux up and running the way I want it.
