Hotplug/Plug and Play does not work
Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:56 pm
Hello Mint Community,
I am using Linux Mint 8 64Bit and I am very pleased with it except for one weird behaviour.
After I've logged in into Mint I cannot attach a USB or PCMCIA device (I am using a laptop). They are (in some way) recognized but do not work.
The devices I am talking about:
Plextor USB HDD
Creative X-Fi Go USB Sound Card
D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA Wlan Card
However, if I attach those devices before I boot they just work fine. I can even remove them and attach them again and they still work (until I reboot without them again).
In Ubuntu all those devices work fine using plug and play.
I've tried to solve this problem on my own but I cannot figure it out.
Terminal output when attaching the devices:
For D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA Wlan Card
dmesg:
For Plextor USB HDD:
dmesg:
lsusb finds the hdd:
but fdisk -l does not:
It only shows my internal hdd.
For X-Fi Go:
dmesg:
lsusb:
All the devices are seen in the gnome-device-manager and correctly described. The Plextor HDD is listed as USB Mass Storage, the X-Fi Go is listed as USB-Audio and PCMCIA card is listed as network controller.
To summarize my problem:
I can only use external devices when attaching them before booting.
When attaching them afterwards they are recognized by some utilities but none of them work.
Hope someone is able to help me.
Have nice holidays,
Plumbum
