I'm not sure...but I think Mandrake has some issues with adding cards after install. I recently tried to add a PCI USB card to my laptop's docking station and ran up against similar troubles. (Disclaimer: these may be ACPI troubles, or otherwise unrelated). But here it what I did to at least get it to detect (if my memory serves).
Try this: edit /etc/modules.conf and on the line that says probeall usb-interface usb-uhci (it may say usb-ohci) add usb-ehci so it looks like this: probeall usb-interface usb-uhci usb-ehci Also, in /etc/modprobe.conf, there will be a line that looks like: install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /bin/true change it so it looks like this: install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe usb-ehci; /bin/true (that's all one line) After editing and saving, reboot. That may work. Let us know what happens. j----- k----- On Thursday 19 August 2004 06:06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I have an 80 Gig external USB 2.0 hard drive that has been working fine > with my built-in USB 1.1 ports.
