James :

I think that I use a "generic" driver because the name of the driver seems to be "none or built-in" : perhaps this generic (?) driver is only for "cd-reader-only" ???

By the way, the name of my external USB 2.0 cd-rw is "Lacie Slimtype Combo LSC-24082 K" which seems to be similar to http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10392

and Lacie does not offer any linux-driver support of course ... .
