First one bought was a Link-Max UL-641 that, plugged in, was immediately accessible by the kernel with no configuring by me.. Later attempts with other brands, no such luck.. As I look at the retail boxes not a single one mentions Linux, so was wondering what others have discovered.. It's no fun buying then returning just to see what works or doesn't... Most of the comments on the Web seem to indicate this is not a problem but I've found otherwise.. One vendor, Kingston, said flat out that Linux is not supported by their devices.. Best and TIA. -- Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 9.0 (2.4.20-1) . - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
