I still could see device connection or disconnection in /var/log/messages. The fact is that USB support has been rewritten between these two versions, and there were misconfiguration in /dev for 2.6.8.1 to correctly handle the USB device. The solution was to use the Code: /sbin/MAKEDEV usb command, but executed from /dev or it would create character devices at the wrong place Babs
