confusing USB issue

[Mark Greenbank]

Hi,

I have a Sierra Wireless card to be used in Linux. The pppd scripts depend
on /dev/USB[0-3] being created however they are only created if I boot into
VMWare/Windows XP and get it to recognize the card. From then on the
/dev/USB[0-3] devices are created and I can use PPP from Linux.

Does anyone have an idea of what VMWare is doing to cause the devices to be
recognized (and what my Fedora Core 5 is not doing)?

Thanks,
-mark
