Hi everyone,

Just back to Ubuntu, hopefully this time I'll give up Windows for good. In the mail today I got a PCI USB 2 card (cheapo, NEC based apparently) I ordered off eBay. I plugged it in but to my disappointment devices I plug in won't show up (bluetooth dongle and XBOX 360 controller). I don't think Linux sees the card, or is using it. Is there a way to make the card work? I would have assumed it would detect and work at start up? I'm running Ubuntu x86 9.04 final.

Any ideas, tips and advice are greatly appreciated


This is the output of a command I tried:

EDIT:
I plugged the mouse in and it works, I guess the USB card is working but the BT dongle and X360 controller aren't, any ideas on how to get them to work? Thanks

Whoa I just plugged my mouse in and it works... I guess the problem is getting the bluetooth dongle and XBOX 360 controller to work... original post edited

OK although not getting any notification to the fact, I fired up ZSNES and the X360 controller is working now... odd!

Now to figure out the bluetooth dongle... getting there ^_^

Nevermind, put the dongle in two other PC's - it's dead :D

Thanks anyway...
