thanks but sorry, couldn't figure out how to do that

I was doing "ls -lrta /dev" when plugging it in but didn't spot a device for it.

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

when I look at /dev/bus/usb/001 there is a 004 but trying to mount just complains it's not a block device (and if it requires a mount parameter I don't know what it would be).

I never added a udev rule - do I need to? iow no device is being created when I plug it in?
