This looks like the device described at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1303 , but I can't be sure without checking the device ID. Use lsusb from a sommand line, or the usbview tool to get the ID for your drive and compare. If not, searching the working devices list for that ID should hopefully dig up what you're looking for. If that is it, then according to that page the device works well after editing a source file and compiling a new kernel. > So why can't I find it under /dev ?

Libranet is Debian-based, from memory, so plug the drive in and look in /var/log/syslog to see what your kernel thinks of it. > Hmm... I also looked at Preferences->information->block devices.

So is the Linux USB Guide at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html , and the rest of www.linux-usb.org in general.
