Relic2K Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hey All; This is a first for me, but I bought a new USB PCI (Belkin) card once I had already did a fresh installation of MDL 10.1. So now when I boot up, the Card is not being detected properly. The module is compilied into the kernel that much I do know already. Even USBView is not seeing the card properly. My question is how do I go about manually configuring the files (What goes in which files) to get my USB card working in Linux ? Anyone know of any HWTs ? Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 (edited) is this a data-storage card? if yes,try first with editing your fstab file. your usb-devices are usually detected as sdx devices. so a fstab entry could look like this: /dev/sda /mnt/usb auto,user,noauto,exec 0 0 or, if sda doesn't work /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto,user,noauto,exec 0 0 don't forget to create the /mnt/usb folder. once this is done, the relevant usb-device- icon should show up in your data-manager (konqueror/nautilus) and you should be able to mount it now. if this is not a data-storage card, ignore this post. :P Edited October 30, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 It is not a data storage card, it is simply a Belkin 5 port USB 2.0 (PCI) controller card which allows to use other USB Devices. I am pretty sure that I have to add some modules lines to the /etc/modprobe.conf as well, but I am not sure what they are. I have finally found some useful information that I can try when I get off work tonight. Will keep adding and posting. It also appears that they are no longer using the /etc/modules.conf file for specifying modules boot up, so I am still trying to figure out where all the configurations information has to go now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I found some good info online and managed to get the USB card up and running. It was some time before I was able to post this follow up though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
