Check the manufacturer.
It's usually no good with USB, unless the USB is using a stndard protocol
(the SurfBoard Cable modem does, so that is usable with a modern
distribution).
You can give it a shot by looking at the modules instlled and running.
Installed:
/sbin/lsmod | grep -u usb
this will show you what usb device drivers you have currently running.
Someone here will be able to tell you what they are for
For installed modules:
ll -r /lib/modules/<your linux version>/kernel/drivers/usb
Try installing these modules, if you don't think the correct ones are
installed.
for file in `ls *.o`
do
module=`basename $file ".o"`
insmod -vv -d $module
done
that should *attempt* to install any modules in the current directory. E.g.
if it sees only
usb-core.o
it will run
insmod -vv -d usb-core
The "-vv -d" will give you lots of information which may be able to help you
find the problem
