Are you sure you are using a proper USB OTG cable? As the
instructions say, a standard mini-B to A cable that you have lying
around will *not* work. You must use the white USB OTG cable
available from Gumstix or a cable specifically marked as an OTG cable.

These cables are not easy to find, so if you didn't order the Gumstix
white cable or special order an OTG cable, you are likely using the
wrong cable and it will not work.
