Hi Matthias,

I was told to keep the linux-can mailing list in the loop.

I did not solve the problem. I believe it might be due to a USB 
controller problem as Marc suggested. For information sake here are the 
output of dmesg, lsusb and lspci as I plug in the device:

    oSuseBox-IIT:/home/fgiovannini # dmesg | tail
