PCI USB card not working

Hi all!

I recently switched to openSUSE 11.0 but I have been working with other linux distros before. My computer has two 1.1 built-in USB ports and I just got a PCI USB card with four 2.0 USB ports. The card gets recognized by the system at startup and when I plug my usb-stick to the 1.1 port it gets automatically recognized and mounted.

However, if I plug the usb stick to any of the high-speed USB ports on the PCI card nothing happens. Neither

cat /proc/partitions

nor

fdisk -l

helps me identify the device so that I can manually mount it and eventually manually edit the /etc/fstab file. Some people tell me that there might be some discrepancy in the fstab-file. Here is it:


dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y120P0_Y34E234E-part3 swap                 swap       defaults              0 0

Can anyone give me some ideas as hoe to make the PCI card working?

Thanks in advacne!

Not really, or at least not immediatly.

But try running lsusb, to see if the USB devices (and you pci hub) gets
recognised.

/usr/sbin/lsusb
or
/usr/sbin/lsusb -v
