You need a line like that in your fstab. Or you can mount it manually with

Present.

mount -t usbdevfs I guess. 

Would I have to actually mount a modem??? Sounds awkward!

It is in the usb guide online somewhere. Then
prodding around the dir, reveals a lot:

hendry@xxxxxxx:/proc/bus/usb$ cat drivers
         usbdevfs
         hub
 96-111: hiddev
         hid

Aha. Now it comes clear. I only have the first two lines in 
/proc/bus/usb/drivers

(Hence the unknown report from Mandrake9 and I've since tested it with a host 
of other distros too, SuSE 7.1, Debian3, Slackware8, Lycoris, Mandrake 8.2 
(expected seeing as M9 couldn't see it) and I'm about to see if Knoppix or 
DemoLinux can cope with it.)


That is what I get with an USB mouse plugged in.


Does your USB mouse need to be mounted before it'll work?
