Are you running 5.10, or 5.04, or prerelease 6.04, I remember it was a
different setup in 5.04 than what I have described which is in 5.10. For
5.04 you had to add the devices to the etc/udev/links file. If thats
what you need Ill look to see if I have it laying around in an old
backup somewhere.

Peter.

ps I double checked the file for 5.10 an it is as I said above.
