Got the ports working, thanks for the input all. I did this as root from the command line:
modprobe usbcore modprobe usb-uhci mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb Also added entries in console.perms for usb: <usb>=/dev/usb <console> 0660 <usb> 0600 root Running usbview on with the camera on sees the usb hub and correctly identifies the camera. Now, how to properly set up /etc/fstab and modules.conf. I'll have at that tomorrow, but any thought appreciated.
