Hi all,

my mainboard is an ASUS P5A-B and I have the the USB 1.1 extension slotpanel which bears the USB plug and the cable connexion to the mainboard. I wanted to see if the USB port works, so I tried it with a SONY 256 MB USB 2.0 stick.
But my Knoppix 3.3, which is installed on HDD, doesn't want to recognize it. The "KDE info centre" is not aware of any USB device. With Knoppix 3.4 (c't-version) from CD it's the same.

Any ideas what I can do that the USB port will be usable? Later on, I plan to connect a USB flatbed scanner to my PC and for now the USB stick is just to check that this port works. What shall I do?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Oli
