Q2: Linux 2.4 does not automatically recognize my KanguruMedia X-change?
A2: Linux uses a so-called " USB Manager" , which automatically loads
kernel modules (drivers ) for USB devices . It loads only drivers for devices that are
present on the USB bus to reduce memory usage. Per default, the USB Manager does not
come with KanguruMedia X-change pre-configured . However , you can easily configure
the USB Manager to automatically recognize the KanguruMedia X-change yourself .Just
add the following to the configuration file, usbmgr.conf(usually in /etc/usbmgr):
vendor 0xd7d product 0x100 module scsi_mod, usb-storage
This line identifies the KanguruMedia X-change and tells the USB Manager to load the
SCSI as well as the USB storage module. The SCSI module is needed in order to talk to
both SCSI and USB Storage devices, while the USB-storage module is needed to talk to
USB storage devices. Do not forget to either reload the USB Manager's configuration or to
restart the USB Manager (for instance , do as root :/etc/init.d/usbmgr reload)
