O.k., so maybe the USB port could have been damaged somehow. Have you
tried to attach the flash drive into another USB port? For example, in
one of the ports that you know is already working for other devices.

Also, to discard a hardware issue, you can load a LiveCD of your choice
(better try with any recent linux distribution) and see if it is working
there.

I fail see any link with this issue. In what way do you think the wifi
USB dongle can be interering with a proper detection of a mass storage
device? :-?

Oddly, a reboot fixed the issue. The usb drives mount fine and my network is
still working. Perhaps the hardware got into some odd state.

If I happens again I'll do further experimentation.

Thanks,
Mike

I've been seeing something similar over the past couple of months on my
Sid box. I also found that issuing the `lsusb' command seems to "wake
up" the system in some way and KDE's Device Notifier will become active
and I can mount the flash drive. I've also noticed that I need to do
the same for a USB-serial converter to be recognized. Hoever, any
devices plugged in upon system start are recognized.

lsusb didn't help me at all. I looked for my symptoms via google and found
many running Ubuntu finding the issue, but no real resolution.

Maybe my issue is flakey hardware. Only time will tell.

It may well be my problem as well. I have enough live CDs and a couple
of bootable flash drives to get an idea one way or the other.
