Dear List Users,

I've recently got a Apple iPod shuffle 1GB (read flash
drive) which requires high power USB2.0. However I'm
runing my old PIII (993 MHz), 256MB, Linux FC3 (Kernel
2.6.9) with USB1.1 (12Mb/s full speed).

When I plugin the iPod to any of the USB port I get an
error message
....
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3
usb 1-2: device not accepting address 3, error -71
....

However, if I let the iPod plugged in and then boot
the machine while the iPod is still plugged in, it
recognises the device through /dev/sda1 and I can do
the usual stuff (e.g. formatting, data transfer etc.
etc.). But once I plug it off (after ejecting
/dev/sda1), the same thing happens!

I also have an USB extension cord which works with
other USB devices. However, when I connect the iPod
through the cord, its green light flashes and same
error message appears. 

What I want to know is that is it USB1.0 port and
USB2.0 compatibility issue? I have empty PCI slot.
Will a USB2.0 PCI card help. What is high power? How
do I ensure that the card I shall get will be a high
power? Why the device extnsion cord shows different
behavior though the error messege is same?

BTW, I can duel boot to windoz and the behavior is
same. Recognizes while plugged in during booting,
otherwise not.

Please help. Any suggestion would be welcome so that
my  money (I'm a poor man to get a shuffle instead of
a Nano) is not wasted! Regards,


Madhurjya
