I'm trying to get my Slackware 11 system to see USB devices but at the moment I'm having no success at all.

Plugging either a digital camera or a memory stick into the USB sockets elicits no response at all, nothing in any of the log files, nothing that I can see in the /proc area.

If I do 'lsusb' I just get:-

Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 2 Device 1: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 3 Device 1: ID 0000:0000  

I'm running a 2.6.18 kernel.

What do I need to do to get something useful to happen?!

It's OK, sillines strikes again, the front panel USB sockets aren't working. Plug the memory stick in the sockets on the back and it works straight away!

Ho, hum, now to find out why the front panel sockets aren't working.
