Displaying USB devices in Slackware v11
 
So... I just recently installed slackware 11 with kernel 2.4.33.3. I installed it with all the options, which I'm pretty sure included usb.

I'm trying to get both a webcam and a flash stick to work. I found out the usb wasn't set up when I installed a quickcam driver and it couldn't find the device afterword.

When I run lsusb I get all devices listed as 00000:00000 even with both devices plugged in at the same time. I have tried it after rmmod and insmod usb-ohci and dmesg says it found the usb buses and controllers and ports.

So my first question/problem is a simple one, how do I get the devices to appear in lsusb when they're plugged in?

Thanks

What happens if you plug in one of your devices and then type
Code:

dmesg
The last few lines of output should say that it found a new USB device. It will then tell you what it thinks the device is (it calls my flash drive a "USB Mass Storage device") or it will say something like "unknown device".

dmesg does not show anything new after unplugging/replugging either or both of the devices.
