Hi Stephen,
Edit the file /etc/modules and put "usb-storage" in there along with whatever other modules you want to load when the system boots; reboot. Try again.
You might also want to make sure that usb-uhci loads in there as well.
Give that a go, mate.
My /etc/modules now looks like this:
usb-storage usb-uhci scsi_hostadapter
After reboot I plugged the camera in, waited a few moments to make sure that everything could be recognised, and then lsmod shows (among a lot else):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] paul]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted usb-storage 72952 0 (unused) scsi_mod 103284 2 [sr_mod usb-storage ide-scsi] ehci-hcd 18568 0 (unused) usb-uhci 24652 0 (unused) usbcore 72992 1 [printer usb-storage ehci-hcd usb-uhci]
When I look at /proc/bus/usb/devices, in there I do find the camera:
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.)

/var/log/messages shows the modules being loaded correctly:

But the camera, still:

Mar 26 20:17:15 nwyfre kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5ca/0x2202) is not claimed by any active driver.
Mar 26 20:17:19 nwyfre /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 5ca/2202/0
I don't know if there are more places to look at, this is all I can find so far...
Thanks for the help anyway! :-) Paul
