[Gnewsense-dev] metad wodim / k3b not finding SCSI driver

[Lars Nooden]

In metad, wodim and k3b are not finding the scsi driver for the cd-rw.
Below is an excerpt from dmesg and an example of the error messages.
Below those are the output from 'wodim --devices' and 'wodim -scanbus'

Is the hardware dependent on proprietary drivers or are there Free or
Open Source drivers to import from Debian or Fedora?

Regards,
/Lars
