You would install it in the exact same way you would enable USB normally. You'll need the usb-core module, and then either usb-uhci or usb-ochi depending on the chipset - you might find that dmesg shows that at bootup when it detects if you're lucky.

I also like the Java USB Viewer that you can get - makes things nice 'n' easy.

Which distro you running, BTW?

Is this a USB2 card?

http://www.linux-usb.org/usb2.html for info on USB2.

You can also find additional information on USB1 cards at the same site.

Just plug the card in and see if your distro detects and load the correct modules for the USB card.

dmesg | less

to view your system log and

lsmod (list loaded modules)

to see if the required modules have been loaded for the USB card.

Any hints ??

I also run on Slack, so you should find that all the modules you need are available, and dmesg should pick it up - why not post the output here ;)

Also, you might as well try modprobe usbcore and modprobe usb-uhci while you're there, and then load up the Java USB Viewer from http://jusb.sourceforge.net/

Um. Dunno. Not good sign, really. Regardless of whether it's detected properly, the power should go through I thought.

Post up your dmesg so we can have a look, or add it as an attachment.
