I'm just a HackRF user myself, but suggest that in order to assist in 
diagnosing what's happening with your setup the following will be 
necessary to progress further;

* Please stipulate what Operating system and version you're using 
(Ubuntu 14.04, MacOSX 10.7, Windows 7 etc. etc.)

* Type of computer in question (Laptop, Desktop, make/model)

* Any other pertinent details (worked prior to updating to latest OS, 
was attempting a firmware update of HackRF) etc.

* System messages, where you are/aren't seeing the device info etc. 
(e.g. in /var/log/messages on a Linux machine, device/control panel 
under windows etc.)

Apologies for pointing out the simple stuff but I believe it will be 
necessary to have this for anyone (hopefully more knowledgeable than I 
:) to be able to assist!

Kind Regards,
Hugh
