Re: [gentoo-user] Slow PCMCIA-USB

2006-06-24 Thread Christoph Eckert 
Hi all,


replying to myself. I just did some further tests, and today it's really 
fast.

It seems that it needs some further circumstances that slows down the 
devices.
So please ignore my previous post. First I should do further 
investigation. Weird.

Thanks for all replies so far!


Best regards

Hi,

here's the output of lspci. I also have appended the diff of the output 
of lsmod before and after plugging the PCMCIA-USB card in, and the 
output of tail -f /var/log/messages while replugging the device:

...and it's switched off, I just checked it.

Thanks for the hint anyway!

What do your devices show up as, /dev/sd* or /dev/ub*?

If the latter, you need to turn off the kernel option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB at

Device Drivers
-> Block devices
   -> Low Performance USB Block driver

[gentoo-user] Slow PCMCIA-USB

2006-06-23 Thread Christoph Eckert 
Hi all,


I just purchased a PCMCIA-USB-card to make my notebook USB 2.0 ready. I 
connected an external USB drive and an mp3-stick using Knoppix and was 
very happy because everything worked right out of the box. Making a 
backup of my Gentoo installation to the USB drive was a real joy :) .

When running the card under Gentoo, everything is plug and play as well, 
but there are two disadvantages:

* I have to put in the card after booting. Otherwise I cannot establish 
a DSL connection (minor issue)

* Worse: The device works well, but file transfer rates (mass storage) 
are very slow (~32KB/sec)

So it seems not to be a hardware problem but a problem of my particular 
installation. I run a custom 2.6.14.2 kernel on a Dell Inspiron 8200. 
If anyone could point me to some keywords to ask search engines for or 
can provide some personal experiences, I'd really be glad. I'm also 
happy with RTFM :) .

Thanks a lot & best regards,


ce
