Hello deeply respected All! I got a (possibly) NOOBish question on the subject which, however IS annoying. Setup: amd64-CURRENT, KDE4 desktop env. with all bells & whistles (OK, sorry, I just like the "style uniformity" and DISlike the huge GNOME's decorations - my bad). Running (obviously) dbus and hald. My problem is: Any kind of memory stick/cardreader/whatever USB device at all plugged in is recognized only once. Whatever I do the second time it's invisible for the kernel. After it is unmounted/unplugged, /dev/da0 (if that's what it was recognized as) is never destroyed, usbconfig just hangs and to make a next use of any flash drive (or, to be precise, of any USB storage - and perhaps any USB in general - device at all) I have to reboot. Besides, even reboot goes unsuccessfull if "sysctl hw.usb.no_shutdown_wait" is not set. None of these not-so-pleasant things happen when I'm in pure console session with no dbus and hald running. A question is obvious: how do I configure these bl...dy HW abstraction layers (and perhaps devd, devfs.{conf,rules} or whatever I need) to make them work as they are supposed to? TIA, Vladimir
