[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] flasher (Linux) doesn't find device

[From: Martin Grimme]

Hello,

I cannot get the flasher find the device. All it says is:

  Suitable USB device not found, waiting

... and then waiting for ever and ever.
I am root, the N770 is turned off with battery fully charged,
and the device is connected via USB.
When the device is turned off it doesn't even look as if the
kernel noticed that something has been plugged in.

I tried it on Ubuntu Hoary (kernel 2.6.10) as well as
on VLOS 1.2 (gentoo) (kernel 2.6.13).
Did I miss something? Is perhaps some specific kernel
module needed?
