Unplug the device then open a separate command line window. As root,
run this command:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

Now, do you see messages when you plug in the device?

Does any of these messages mention a device being assigned to it?

If not, have you updated your system recently? Sometimes newer UDEV
packages cause this sort of problem.
