Hi Dan,

I think I have the latest updates, provided fedora/core/development is
rawhide? I got udev-116-3.fc8 and initscripts-8.60-1.

That said, I am pretty sure this is a driver issue - even right after
the install, when Fedora hadn't figured out the device and didn't try
to load the module, it didn't find the device either unless I loaded it,
unloaded it and loaded it again.

Cheers,
Jes
