I am trying to get a combined Firewire/USB pcmcia adaptor working on my laptop (knoppix 3.4, harddisk installed) and, although the card recognises Firewire, it doesn't detect USB.
When I run root shell: cat /proc/scsi/scsi ... I get to see my internal CD drive and the Firewire peripheral (an MO drive) but nothing else.
If I start Windows (urrgghhh), the USB is detected.
Am I asking too much of Linux/Knoppix? Is the Firewire conflicting with the USB? Or is there a way to get this working? Should I maybe try a newer version of Knoppix?
Any tips would be gratefully received.

PS: When I use my other (no-name) USB 2.0 pcmcia card that detects my USB peripherals no problem.
