I have just rebooted the server and can confirm that neither dmesg, 
/var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog contain device not accepting 
address or USB device is disconnected error messages.

At least that is the case with mine. If you

don't have it then it's I guess very specific to this atom board.  I
know someone else added something along the lines irq=fixconflict to
get rid of the issue with a wireless USB mouse showing same symptoms and
CentOS. IRQ conflicts is also one of my thoughts as well but I can't
play at BIOS level at this time as the server is thousands miles away
from me.

then
it's a universal issue and not hardware specific.

I would really appreciate it if you look into your logs and let
me know.


If you are asking me to look into the logs when the U100 is not
recognised and it is flashing - I'm afraid I can't help much - as
this problem went away and haven't had issues any more for at least
6-8 months now. Considering the U100 persist in giving problems even
after computer restarts somehow sounds to me like a hardware issue.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Acer Aspire motherboard is not coping
very well with both of them being plugged in - although, obviously,
it should.

This linux-usb FAQ seems to also suggest that the problem is
hardware (based on the device is not accepting address error message):

http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts6

Have you tried disabling in bios everything you don't use - maybe
sound card, wifi etc. to free some IRQ's?

I run kernel 2.6.33.4-smp - just in case it helps.

Let me know if you need any other info. If you find a final solution
- I would be curious to know - just in case I will stumble over this
problem.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to build a script which grep's lsusb
output - and run it through cron maybe every 10 minutes - to try and
determine more precisely when does the U100 stop being recognised.
Then you can look through the logs to see if there is anything else
happening in the system around the same time.

Sebastian

I'm a bit late here, but I can say that Sangoma support has always been 
extremely helpful when I call them. If you haven't already, definitely 
give them a call.

 Don't know if this will help - but I will butt in with what I have :-)

 I've been using a Sangoma U100 adapter for about 2 years now. It is
 connected to a Compaq V2120 laptop (Celeron M 1.4GHz processor) which serves
 as my home server. It is actually the main reason I went for the U100 - as I
 couldn't add a PCI or PCIe card to a laptop to get the FXO ports I needed. I
  have to say I really like the U100 - I believe it is the only low(ish) cost
 USB based FXO interface on the market.

 I have had occasional problems with it. I remember it used to just stop
 working - and the lights would start flashing. If I remember correctly - I
 went to Sangoma's website and downloaded the latest wanpipe drivers,
 compiled and installed them - and everything was ok after that. At the
 moment I'm running Asterisk 1.6.2.9 and wanpipe 3.5.11. I can't remember
 what version of wanpipe was giving problems, I'm afraid.

 I also found that mine doesn't really like to be hot-plugged - it just
 freezes the system with strange characters on the screen. But that was a
 while ago. Since I've learned it's foibles - it must be at least one year
 since I had to look at it.

 Looking forward to your analysis.

Hi Bruce,

The following would be useful for starters:

1. cat /etc/wanpipe/*.conf

2. ifconfig -a (from a working and non-working situation)

3. lspci -v and lsusb -v (from a working and non-working situation)

4. wanrouter hwprobe verbose (from a working and non-working situation)

5. /var/log/messages (near the date the problem happened)
