Your kernel log showed that interrupts were getting delivered okay, so that's not the problem. > I tried kernels 2.4.26 till and including 2.6.7 without luck, however on > the same machine is also connected an usb joystick that works without a > problem, so my usb does work. > > The usb wifi stick is known to need to get a descriptor before settings > it's address but even with this patch I can't get it to work ( I didn't > need the patch for machine 2). Can you give a URL for the patch you're talking about? I don't understand -- if the stick is known to need to transfer a descriptor before setting its address, how come it works on machine 2 when you set the address first? > I read some usb specs/docs kernel usb stuff, but since I'm no expert I > cannot see where the problem is, therefore posted below is some > information that hopefully is helpfull to you. > > Please let me know what else I can do to help, Other people have reported similar problems, and I'd like to know the answer. The fact that the stick fails with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels indicates it's not some recent change to the driver that messed something up. Have you tried plugging the wifi stick into the other USB port, the port currently used by the joystick? Maybe that will make a difference...
