[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
Hi all, Wether your problem is related to usb-ohci.c, usbdevfs or the speedtouch driver, it should be solved. Moreover, we know where the error is since it calls the BUG() macro. I faced such problem myself on an old machine and the only thing I found is that the hardware was a little bit buggy (addresses read from some registers did not match addresses written on other registers, which produce a kernel panic). But even if the hardware is buggy, good software design should recover such errors instead of doing a kernel panic so, there must be something to do on the software part ...

[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
Maybe, but that would suggest that even on a faster machine it will
eventually crash (my P233 has stayed up for 3-4 days without problem).
I'm probably going to order another (more expensive) USB card, to see
whether that helps - if it is a scheduling problem it is possible that
having a better card might reduce the problem in the same way as having a
faster processor.
(I would also be interested to know whether a different USB card would help
the Alcatel mgmt program, which currently crashes on my machine with any
kernel above 2.4.5ish.)
All the best,
Tim.

[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
I don't know if there is scheduling problem or module problem, but I've
changed my distribution on my old pentium 120.
Now I use smoothwall (excellent distribution, www.smoothwall.org) and all
works fine. No more ftp download troubles, everything's working pretty.
Before I use a Mandrake 7.2.
Bye.

[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
Hi
I try to run speedtouch with my USB card on the second PC, a Pentium III
550 MHz and a same kernel today. It work VERY WELL. I can download a
complete redhat CDROM iso during 4 hours. So I think it isn't a problem with
the chip but a scheduling problem on OHCI driver because we have a slow CPU.
What do you think about it ?

This allow us to manipulate USB without any control other all the USB module stuff. We never increment/decrement module usage counter, neither we touch usb-interface stuff. This is usbdevfs job. So the problem must be in the usbdevfs driver. But this is such a piece of code, i can't understand it very well (never done kernel dev) and so, i can't try to debug it.(more over i don't have ohci card) Edouard Gomez PS : Take a look at the driver source code and then try to find out what's the problem in usbdevfs driver.

Mine is CMD 0670B-400: http://www.dlink.co.uk/long_desc.asp?id=234
Anybody else got this card, and got problems with the SpeedTouch?
How would we diagnose this problem (if it could be fixed without the
purchase of another USB card)? I agree with Dave that the problem is in the
SpeedTouch driver, as I didn't experience any problems using the kernel
driver (why I'm no longer using the kernel driver is a long story ...).

[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
Hi,
(system crashes are getting too annoying not to be solved ...)
I believe the USB card I have is a 2-port D-LINK card (square board with a
large, central chip).
Is this the same card you have?
I'm wondering whether the crash may be related to just this type of USB
card, as it would appear to effect so few people, in which case simply
replacing the card may solve it.
Many thanks,
Tim.

Nice to know I'm not alone (A Google search didn't show anyone else with
this problem!).

Tim.

[speedtouch] Re: refcount bug in SpeedTouch?
Hi, I have the same problem. I think it's a driver ohci bug and maybe on
the slow computer ( my system is P75 ) (???) I don't know exactly why.
sorry !!! ;-(.
