Using the lsusb i see the following:
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1241:1122 Belkin
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
When i remove the wireless usb the Ralink disappears so that is the one and
it is being detected.
As Wayne has mentioned using the following dmesg | grep usb >
/home/paddy/usb.txt gives me the following:
