I've got an olde thinkpad and picked up a "Syntax USB-400" 802.11b interface on a USB stick (heck, it's free after rebate): http://www.freeafterrebate.info/article.php?story=20040301213230483 When I plug it in, usbd sees it as a generic device: ugen0: vendor 0x0967 product 0x0204, rev 1.10/1.32, addr 2 This appears to be a prism2 chipset, judging by code found while googling the hex numbers above -- from linux-wan-ng. I cut and paste dev/attach/detach lines from elsewhere /etc/usbd.conf which handle USB ethernet devices: device "USB 802.11b" vendor 0x0967 product 0x0204 devname "[ackr]ue[0-9]+" attach "/etc/pccard_ether ${DEVNAME} start" detach "/etc/pccard_ether ${DEVNAME} stop" Stop and restart usbd, insert the dongle. It reports the same message as before, as if it's not finding a match on the vendor/product? The power(?) indictor on the dongle never lights. If I reboot the machine with the dongle inserted, the light does come on, but the usbd still doesn't see the dongle as a network device. Any pointers? Thanks.
