Hi,

I guess Google doesn't index our Bugzilla :-)


Here's a ticket that says the drivers for this device are not yet in
the kernel -- you are too bleeding edge!

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714410


You might find a workaround on this ticket:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678669


Hope this helps.
