I tried following the original advice to uninstall maemo-control-usb and
re-install with usbcontrol but uninstalling maemo-control-usb required
uninstalling 2008 features (don't recall exact package name) and several
other packages. I'm running Diablo and all I did was to install usbhost
(search on maemo.org download page for "usb"). Once I did that, I could
then attach flash drives, keyboards, etc. I don't think usbcontrol will
install or work under Diablo. (usbcontrol worked when I used Chinook.)
