Linux Kernel 2.4.0 or above
Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which does automatically load kernel modules
(drivers) for USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that are present on the USB
bus to reduce memory usage.
Per default, the USB Manager does not come with the USB Drive pre-configured.
However, you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically recognize the
USB Drive yourself.
Just add the following to the configuration file, usbmgr.conf (usually in /etc/usbmgr):
vendor 0xd7d product 0x100 module scsi_mod, usb-storage
This line identifies the USB Drive and tells the USB Manager to load the SCSI as well as
the USB storage module. The SCSI module is needed in order to talk to both SCSI and
USB storage devices, while the usb-storage module is needed to talk to USB storage
devices.
Do not forget to either reload the USB Manager's configuration or to restart the USB
Manager (for instance, do as root: /etc/init.d/usbmgr reload).
