Hi Jonathan, you also wrote to me privately, I will only answer here :).

When not using the hotplug-firmware agent, but do the firmware download manually (via cat filename > /sys/something) it is working. On the same installation the download of the firmware for the usb boxes is working very well with hotplug. So I think it is a hotplug problem, but I was not able to figure out what's really wrong. best regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
