I'm not sure this bug is completely related to the issue that I'm experiencing upon upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. Upon first upgrading, I tried connecting an iPod. It mounted but, Rhythmbox didn't recognized it. I surfed around and followed the suggestion to turn the nautilus automount off (http://luisgmarine.blogspot.com/2010/01/fix-ipod-detection-in-ubuntu-910.html). Are non-launchpad links "legal"? That solved the Rhythmbox/iPod issue. But, it requires me to manually mount CDs and USB flash drives. This I don't mind.

The issue I'm trying to figure out now, and reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/589461, is that Lucid does not recognize my USB flash drive - so that I can mount it- when I have already plugged in the USB wireless card.

I have two usb ports and it doesn't matter which devise is plugged in either port. The problem occurs when I boot the laptop with the wireless plugged in but not the flash drive. So, do you think I should continue following this bug (584052) or is bug 589461 sufficiently different to not be related?

Comment #3 says Stephen >Fixed USB's by adding UUID to fstab

I can try that, but how?
