Hi.

I said in my first E-Mail that I tried the thing under Ubuntu, and that it is already the Expresscard Slot that NixOS does not recognize. Why do I get suggestions to try to plug in USB Hardware then, and try it under Ubuntu?

Anyway, I tried it under Ubuntu und Arch, it worked, I diffed /proc/config.gz, and found some differences. Here are the kernel flags that I chose from it which now made it work (I have no idea which one it was, but I have no time to try it out exactly, because somehow the Kernel is only built singly-threaded, and this takes 5 hours every time):

  nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
      bluez = pkgs.bluez5;
      stdenv = pkgs.stdenv // {
               platform = pkgs.stdenv.platform // {
               kernelExtraConfig = ''
                  HOTPLUG_PCI y
                  HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE y
                  HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI y
                  GART_IOMMU y
#                 PCMCIA y
                  PCI_REALLOC_ENABLE_AUTO y
               '';
                };
         };
  };

And while you're at it, you should probably check `lspci -k` on the
working system to see what kernel module it uses, in case it's missing
from NixOS.

What about doing quick check and running ubuntu from livecd/usb to
confirm if card still is alive?

    It might be a missing driver. Ultimately is the kernel, its
    drivers and modules that deal with hardware and IO. You might need
    to google around and ask specifically for the given pci expess
    hardware serial code and model.

        How can that be?

            Make sure you're running those commands before you plug
            the usb in.

            Also I used to have faulty usb cables, but even then the
            kernel showed
            something. Usually repeating messages because the usb
            cable kept
            dropping out and coming back in.

            What happens if you plug those devices directly?


        The kernel does not notice the expresscard itself when I plug
        it in. My usb hard disk works perfectly under the other ports.

        Ah, and fun fact: When plugging in the expresscard, I can
        reproducibly scramble my sound output for a second (the music
        repeats for a second after I plug it in). Still, the kernel
        says nothing. And no device nodes appear.

                        My USB 3.0 Expresscard does not work under
            NixOS, it used to
                        work
                        under other distros. I already tried to add


                    Can you be a little more specific about "does not
            work"?


                Nothing happens. Like, really nothing. No new hub is
            shown in lsusb
                (as it was under Ubuntu). Devices I plug in are not
            shown. Nothing.

                    When you plug it in, what messages are you seeing
            while running
                    these 2
                    commands in separate terminals:

                    journalctl -k -f

                    and

                    udevadm monitor


                Nothing. No output.
