Dear Alan, > Yes, until an equivalent fix gets added to the official kernel. Or else > just avoid using that hub. :-( Obviously my hub has not only a firmware bug, but also a hardware bug (I'm not sure if this is a design error or a broken hub).
It sources the USB port of the PC!!!! It broke my powersupply twice this week (but fortunately not the mainboard). As I use a quality power supply, it is very unlikely that this happens twice a week. The only thing that I changed on the system (which worked for almost a year now) is the USB hub, which I moved from the active cable to a direct connection to the PC. My local dealer exchanged all the broken hardware on guaranty. If you like your PC and you run Linux, don't buy that crap: Welland UH217C Thank you Alan for your help and patient. I could not test the patch, as I broad the usb hub back to the dealer, I did not wanted to risk a third broken power supply, the dealer might have run out of spares :-). regards Dani ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
