The USB subsystem marks everything it doesn't understand as ugen, which will tell you that the usb hardware is working and can find hardware attached to it. From what I've seen, you do have to have the visor inthe cradle for it to be seen. Alternatively, I asume the visor USB is attached to a non-FreeBSD system. You might try the scanner on that as well. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
