Adaptec USB Card Not Recognized

[Nick Danger]

Hi all ~

I am running SusE 8 Pro on a custom PC. I just installed an Adaptec USB2Connect PCI card. I have my printer, scanner, and Logitech Trackman Marble (and a hub) connected to it. When I boot, it goes to Yast to try to identify the mouse. It won't take my choice of USB (or Intellimouse/USB). What do I need to do to tell the system I have this new controller?

Thanks,

You need to ensure the ehci-hcd module is loaded which supports USB2.

As root

modprobe ehci-hcd

If you do not have the ehci-hcd module then you will need to recompile the kernel.

I believe only the 2.4.18 and later kernels have USB2 support (ehci-hcd).
