Hello, I'm successfully using a usb compact flash card reader with FreeBSD-5.2-RC2/amd64. It is a _intern_ reader (and because of this constantly attached to the usb bus). However, I can only use it when I plug the memory card in BEFORE BOOTING. When I try to attach the memory card later, it will not be found. I wonder if a could use the "camcontrol" command somehow to simulate the "reattachment of the usb device" so that my card gets recognized even if I plug it in AFTER BOOT. For this to happen, I should somehow query the device size like it is done in the following snippet of dmesg: GEOM: create disk da0 dp=0xffffff001da24c68 GEOM: create disk da1 dp=0xffffff0000bb2868 GEOM: create disk da2 dp=0xffffff0000c53468 GEOM: create disk da3 dp=0xffffff0000c74068 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <IC USB Storage-CFC 301b> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 244MB (500736 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 244C) da1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 1 da1: <IC USB Storage-SMC 301b> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da1: 1.000MB/s transfers da1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Anyone got an idea. Cheers, Thomas PS: Yes, I tried "camcontrol rescan 0:0:0" and "camcontrol start 0:0:0" but nothing much happend.
