Ahhhhh.... AVR Studio did tell me "before you can sue your Dragon, you
must update it first!" I though "why update it, it worked just fine
with avrdude straight out of the box, so that should be good enough for
testing purposes !". But I was curious and  launched the update
anyway..at which point it said that it failed to connect...

Yeah, I didn't know about avrstudio and this driver and upgrade
requirement. I simply pulled my Dragon from its box, plugged it and ran
avrdude. Since it appear to work (albeit not very fast !), I assumed I
had nothing else to do !
