Hi,
I have an ancient Dell Inspiron 3000 running Gentoo with a 2.6.14
kernel. I'm trying to get USB to work.
# grep USB .config | grep "=y$"
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_MON=y
But when I plug something into the USB port, lsusb shows nothing:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
(The two USB devices I have tried are a Logiteh Trackman Wheel and a
Creative Webcam Notebook)
This is what lshw has to say about USB:
*-usb
description: USB Controller (UHCI)
product: 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 1.2
bus info:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:01.2
version: 01
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: uhci bus_master
configuration: driver=uhci_hcd
resources: ioport:fcc0-fcdf irq:10
And this is what's in my /proc filesystem:
# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 uhci_hcd
S: Product=UHCI Host Controller
S: SerialNumber=0000:00:01.2
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=255ms
In contrast, if I plug the camera into a Linux system with a working
USB, I get much more, including:
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=041e ProdID=401f Rev= 1.00
Which is indeed the Creative webcam, so I know it is working at least to
that extent.
What am I missing to get USB working on my laptop? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael
