Nice trick :) To add one to the toolbox: do "tail -f /var/log/messages" while plugging in the device: you'll watch your OS pondering on what to do about it. Or do "dmesg | tail" right away after having plugged it in. In both cases you'll see which name the device was registered with. Both need root privilege, so "sudo" or "su" or whatever. Cheers -- t
