Well it's working but I'm d---ed if I know why. Doncha hate it when it
does like that?
I didn't have it connected during install. Guess I was assuming it
would autodetect like most USB devices are starting to. However, I did
reboot, again, and after that it works.
I've been running with no other USB devices connected at all just in
case but thanks for that suggestion.
Guess I'll have to keep poking at it with a sharp(er) intellect and see
what I can find out, if anything.
Thanks for the suggestions offered. If anything conclusive shows up,
I'll report back.
