When reporting a problem with hardware detection, you should report the bug against the appropriate linux-source-2.6.xx package. For example, the correct package in Malone for Dapper is linux-source-2.6.15, for Edgy is linux-source-2.6.17, for Feisty it is linux-source-2.6.20, and for Gutsy it is linux-source-2.6.22

Also, all reports should contain the following information. Please be sure to '''attach''' these files to the bug report.

 * uname -a > uname-a.log
 * cat /proc/version_signature > proc_version_signature.log
 * sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
 * dmesg > dmesg.log

If the system is not correctly detecting a USB device, also '''attach''' the output of:

 * lsusb > lsusb.log
