Linux does not detect my USB device
Linux does not detect my wireless USB device unless I first plug it in and then boot up into Linux... if I first boot and then I plug in the device it does not detect it... not much of a plug and play :/

Re: Linux does not detect my USB device
It depends on the distro you're talking about. Which are you talking about using?

Example: Ubuntu does plug-n-play pretty well. I suspect Slackware requires you to mount pen drives manually.

Re: Linux does not detect my USB device
After you plug it in (immediately after), drop to a shell (terminal) and run tail -20 /var/logs/messages and paste the results here.
