[PLUG] I don't have a USB floppy, really...

[Colin Kuskie]

I bought a USB enclosure for a used laptop hard drive that I have, and
the thing works great!  However, when I read through /var/log/messages
I found this:

Feb 25 09:30:50 redwall kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-1, assigned address 2

I also see this during startup and shutdown.

The laptop doesn't have a floppy drive, and there's nothing
/etc/modules.conf.  Any idea where this is coming from and how to turn
if off?

Thanks,
Colin
