[pups] Can't get a second DZQ11 to configure?!

[Robin Birch]

If it is what I think it is then you will need to add the device to 
/etc/devtab (I think that's the file).  2.11 doesn't just detect what's 
there.  The kernel build puts the drivers in place but it's devtab that 
switches them on.

Cheers

Robin
