Okay I have the Windows drivers for this new device. They are at: http://www.rollo.saffas2.com/dep/pub/ The output of 'lsusb -v' is there too. Thanks Patrick in advance for checking out this assumption of yours. I appreciate your help. Rollo ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS Currently it's not supported because it's new and the vendor didn't care about linux support in advance, probably because only a few users were asking for it. At least that is my experience. >http://www.liteon.com/prod/getProduct.do?cid=1_22_1&xml_id=4_2&menu_id=4_2_22 >shows a picture. Neat. I have an assumption, but I not 100% sure yet. Can you please provide the windows driver .inf files (and the .sys files) somewhere (an URL would be the best thing). >#lsusb >Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04ca:f000 Lite-On Technology Corp. Can you put the lsusb -v output of that device somewhere? (Not necessarily send it by Email, but just send the link). regards, Patrick. ____________________ Rollo Gleeson
