Depending on the kernel you have on your system you may already have the module. The specific module you need to load depends on the USB controller you have on your system. The newer Debian kernels provide support for USB 1.x and 2.x controllers with the following modules: usb-uhci.o uhci.o usb-ohci.o ehci-hcd.o Which of these you need depends on the controller your system has. AFAIK, the last one is only needed by USB 2.x systems. Once you know which you need, you can try to load it with (as root): modprobe $module where $module is the above listed module (without the .o). To find out which you need you can try: lspci | grep -i usb This should list any pci device with USB somewhere in it's description. -- Jamin W. Collins Remember, root always has a loaded gun.
