I tried to recompile the kernel and remove the ubuntu modification from drivers/usb/core/hub.c (see attached patch), and the usb hubs are working back. I guess the bug is somewhere in this modification.
How I did : apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic patch -p1 -R < hub.patch cd linux-2.6.24.2/ cp /boot/config-2.6.24-21-generic .config make deb-pkg dpkg -i ../linux-2.6.24.3_2.6.24.3_i386.deb mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24.3 edit /boot/grub/menu.lst reboot on this kernel. ** Attachment added: "Extracted from linux_2.6.24-21.42.diff.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18800734/hub.patch -- usb devices not recognized automatically when plugged in a hub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
