In a console (I think) type 'kudzu'.

i tried this already, but he doesn't find it anymore, i think i pressed a button like 'forget it forever' or something, thx anyway

OK - try this:

in the /etc/hwconf file remove the entry pertaining to your usb device
save the file
type kudzu
now configure ur device by selecting a suitable driver

I got it from here by searching this site for "hwconfig" (I changed some words to make it relevant to you).

PS. just noticed that your name translates to "I am that moose". Why?)

and for my name, 'ich bin es der elch' means translated to englisch 'it's me, the elk' ;)

thx for helping me out ;)

Cool on the usb thing.

Why are you an elk? or the elk, for that matter?

hm well, dunno really, just for the reason of never being forgotten as 'the' elk? hehe
