Try 'man sysctl'
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-proc-sysctl.html
Sometimes it is more difficult to juggle these things in software than to make
sure the machine is doing PnP properly. USB is a 'WinTel' standard & broken on
many older motherboards. Check your BIOS for updates and settings to make sure
Plug-n-Play is enabled, legacy IRQs are not reserved. Sometimes moving a card
from one PCI slot to another enables PnP to overcome conficts, in redhat 'kudzu'
should detect changes. -Art@JAX
