From: Dotan Cohen on 11 Mar 2010 15:20 I am trying to get a USB device working. In lsusb the ID shows up, but the name of the device does not. Is this an indication that the driver is not properly installed? For instance, this is how functioning devices look in lsusb: Bus 005 Device 003: ID 413c:8126 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 355 Bluetooth However, the device that I need to operate does not show the name, only the beginning of the line like this: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 104f:0006 Does that mean that the device driver is not properly installed? -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.

No, it only means that this combination of vendor ID 104f (WB Electronics) and device ID 0006 (Infinity Smart) is not listed in your /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids file. You can run "update-usbids" to get the newest version. The contents of the usb.ids have no influence on the process by which the kernel tries to find modules for devices, AFAIK. -- Regards, | Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
