Hi Paul, Here is my /proc/bus/usb/devices on Thinstation.
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=1820 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Looks like the above usb-device has the same vendor id as yours. Additionally, the entried don't seem to be in Mandrake or Thinstations unusual_devs.h. Ideas?

Forget about scsi-generic (sg), it isn't relevant. What do you see in /proc/bus/usb/devices (assuming usbdevfs is mounted on /proc/bus/usb)? This will provide the vendor and product ID for your key, which may help. My output looks like: [/proc/bus/usb/devices] T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0c45 ProdID=1060 Rev= 1.00 S: Product=USB Mass Storage Device C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.)

Many USB devices have odd behaviour due to (cost-saving) shortcuts in their protocol compliance. It's quite possible that the only thing you are missing is an appropriate entry in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h for your Vendor/Product ID pair, to deal with the irregularity. What versions of Thinstation and Mandrake kernel are you using? Is there an entry in unusual_devs.h in your Mandrake kernel sources for your Vendor+Product? > If I recall correctly, to detect the key device you must load the > usb-storage module *after* the device is plugged in.

This is actually wrong, BTW, it appears that usb-storage *will* register removal/insertion events on the fly. ================================================== Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
