I don't know for sure, but this might be something with USB 2.0 devices. If you catch my train of thought, some new devices are USB 2.0 only, and your older devices are either usb 1.1 or USB 2.0 with backwards compatibility to 1.1. A question you might want to ask yourself is: What version USB ports do you have on your computer, and what USB version is the hard drive/nic. Also, 2.0 supports some things that 1.1 doesn't, and things might conflict. I've heard from some computer gurus that some new devices totally let go of having backwards compatibility with 1.1. Correct me if I'm wrong. Ben --- James Shatto <Sha...@ea...> wrote: > Other older usb devices seem to work fine though. > Webcams, and other things as well.

I forgot to click on reply-to-all on the letter I sent to Glenn, so I think this is important to put on the list. > Hi Ben, > > Thanks for the reply.

With all my struggles with ndiswrapper/netgear wlan, the majority of the fixes was to download the latest nightly tarbell. Suprisingly enough, this "trick" has worked consistently. -- And I know what you mean about having to tinker with linux. I spent my January break trying to get my wireless working on mandrake, then switched to fedora, and had to start all over again with more problem solving. Although this has been a headache, I know have to say that I am more skilled with the command line, and other aspects of linux. It has helped my skills mature a lot. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/ |

Hi, I've downloaded the latest ndiswrapper (1.1) from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/debian and installed it, and reinstalled the driver. root/# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: netma111 driver present, hardware present But still no luck after modprobe; dmesg says ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver netma111 (NETGEAR,08/11/2003, 3.0.8) loaded usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in ndiswrapper (usb_submit_nt_urb:594): usb_get_descriptor() = -110 ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:273): log: C000138B, count: 0 (c4030000), return address: f0bcd6ec, entry: f0bcd773 offset: 4294967161 ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_one_usb_dev:312): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0010006) ndiswrapper: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -22 usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper and iwconfig doesn't see anything new. Perhaps the only hope is to wait for a kernel image which can do the USB right. The best discussion I've found is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=128602 Can anyone advise as to whether rolling back to a 2.4 kernel might help? There's a 2.4.27-8 version available in sarge. Cheers, Glenn |

Hi, This is a follow-up to my ongoing inability to get a Netgear MA111 USB adapter working. To lilo.conf I added append=3D"acpi=3Doff noapic " and tried 1.2rc1. Then dmesg said usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2 PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 0000:00:07.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 0000:00:10.0 uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: irq 9, io base 00001020 uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 2 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3 usbcore: registered new driver hiddev drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received input: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse=AE= 1.0A] on usb-0000:00:07.2-1 usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver But modprobe got Apr 28 11:34:45 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.2rc1 loaded (pree= mpt=3Dyes,smp=3Dno) Apr 28 11:34:46 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: driver netma111 (NETGEAR,0= 8/11/2003, 3.0.8) loaded Apr 28 11:34:51 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in Apr 28 11:34:51 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed wi= th error -22 Apr 28 11:34:51 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrap= per with a Debian 2.6.8-13 kernel.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply. It turns out that both the computer (Dell XPS T800r) and the Netgear MA111 are USB 1.1 devices. This is a Linux/Ndiswrapper problem. I haven't emphasized this, but it's a dual-boot box and the MA111 works fine with Win2K. James's remarks are all too familiar. I love Linux for its stability and network capabilities, but all too often I spend hours tinkering trying to get stuff to work, often with flaky results; stuff which works trivially under Windows. Of course I wouldn't be running Linux if I didn't like to tinker, but sometimes it gets old.

> I've heard from some computer gurus that some new > devices totally let go of having backwards > compatibility with 1.1. That seems to be the trend IMHO. Although that doesn't stop them from putting usb 2.0 and 1.1 on the box. Even if that's the only place 1.1 appears. But I'm probably not qualified to make that assessment yet. And many of my usb issues don't seem to disappear even when you throw 2.0 into the mix. I am finding myself tinkering with dri/agp and usb sources more often these days to see if there's some magic switch that makes it all just work somewhere. Really kind of sucks that my via board still has unknown devices on pciids.sf.net after some three plus years. Especially when one of those is an agp to cpu controller. But we've long since drifted to OT for this particular forum. And adding entries to xorg sources only seems to make my logs prettier. - James |
