Description:	Compaq Presario 2575us. Has 1 VIA Technologies VT8235 USB Enhanced USB controller, 2 VIA Tech. VT82C586B USB controllers, and 1 Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 Firewire controller. As most of you are probably familiar with, when installing, you must press F1 at the cd boot and choose either linux noauto or expert noauto to install, otherwise the installation will freeze when attempting to detect the firewire. The problem emerges after installation with how to enable the devices. Although I selected noauto, the above devices were already identified. In order to make these devices function I have to become root in a console window and type modprobe hid modprobe usbcore modprobe ohci1394 modprobe ohci-hcd modprobe uhci-hcd modprobe ehci-hcd You can also add it to your /ect/rc.local to automate those commands on startup. Here is the complete listing for the USB and Firewire in the Mandrake Control Center Hardware on my machine, Vendor: ‎VIA Technologies Bus: ‎PCI Bus identification: ‎1106:3038:103c:850 Location on the bus: ‎0:b:0 (second port is b:1) Description: ‎VT82C586B USB Module: ‎usb-uhci Media class: ‎SERIAL_USB Vendor: ‎VIA Technologies Inc Bus: ‎PCI Bus identification: ‎1106:3104:103c:850 Location on the bus: ‎0:b:2 Description: ‎VT8235 USB Enhanced Controller Module: ‎ehci-hcd Media class: ‎SERIAL_USB Vendor: ‎Texas Instruments Bus: ‎PCI Bus identification: ‎104c:8026:103c:850 Location on the bus: ‎0:c:0 Description: ‎TSB43AB21 IEEE-1394 Controller (PHY/Link) 1394a-2000 Module: ‎ohci1394 Media class: ‎SERIAL_FIREWIRE
