    I just got an NEC 1300A CD-RW/DV±RW drive in a USB enclosure.

    When I plug the device into a USB port and power it up, the system says:

    Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.3-2.1, assigned
    address 3
    Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x402/0x5621) is
    not claimed by any active driver.
    Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 278
    Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: hub.c: usb_hub_port_status (2) failed (err =
    -84)

    So it doesn't know what driver to load. If I manually do
    modprobe usb-storage

    the drive is recognized and mounted right away. But shouldn't the system
    (8.2Pro kernel 2.4.20) automatically know that it's a storage device?

    I figure there needs to be an entry in usb.distmap in /etc/hotplug, but I
    can't find any info about how to construct an entry for a device that's not
    already present in the file.

    Where can I find that info?

    Thanks!
