[Asus Transformer TF700] dCaptn:
External USB adapter not working

I just finished collecting more logcat info, and this time I used the adb-over-wifi method;

worked very well - thanks to those who helped with this method.:good:

the following are logs collected when attempting to connect an external USB hard drive,

the first part is generic, possibly related - the last quarter is the actual insertion / removal events.

========================================================================
can skip directly to last quarter of the file, where insertion/removal of usb external hard drive occurs
