I've been having problems getting my laptop (IBM T30) to recognize the Neuros while my desktop worked fine.

Symptoms usually include the Neuros hanging and all sorts of usb-storage errors in dmesg.

I upgraded the BIOS on my laptop today and after that I could mount my Neuros just fine. Normally Linux ignores the BIOS of a system when it starts up, but there may be some firmware updates to the USB subsystem that are still used.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that the bios version could affect the operation of the usb. USB is a complicated beast.

While itis true that a BIOS update might fix your USB problems, it really should be treated as 2nd to last step* due to the real possibility of lobotomizing your motherboard if anything serious goes wrong during the update...

* The last step being upgrading the motherboard or buying a new USB expansion card.

ROM Flash updates are scary things. That's why we all keep our Neuros plugged in during a firmware update, right?

Yeah, but remember that BIOS upgrades sometimes don't fix USB problems as Chameleon mentioned. 9 times out of 10 for Windows users it will be a driver upgrade and for Linux users a kernel upgrade to fix the problem.
