USB issue with 2.6.5 kernel

[ewanrg]

Am building my own LFS (Linux from Scratch) system, and have gotten to the point where it boots from my kernel (2.6.5 and I think I enabled all the appropriate USB stuff) and has networking support (as far as I can tell).

Unplugging and then plugging in my Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 wireless device gives the following message:

usb1-1:new full speed USB device using address 5
midi: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5

so it's possible I'm having a USB problem? Any idea what I might have misconfigured in my kernel or additional package I might need? I've built the Atmel drivers for the device, and can manually load them with Modprobe or insmod (at least they then show up in lsmod), but trying to run iwconfig wlan0 keeps coming back with a no such device error which is why I assume it's a USB rather than driver issue.

Thanks in advance,
Ewan

Try manually modprobing the drivers. It looks like the kernel is trying to load a driver, but it may not be the correct one.

Try manually modprobing the drivers.

The USB drivers? The atmel ones I am able to manually load, but they don't seem to see the device. And since I configured the kernel to build the USB support as built-in rather than as modules, I "assumed" there wouldn't be any other USB stuff to modprobe or insmod.

Or perhaps I'm missing something really obvious?

FWIW, some more debugging info:

1. uname -a

unknown GNU/Linux

2. find /lib/modules -name at76c503\*

I was referring to the amtel drivers...so that's not the problem. Can you post the USB section of your kernel config? There may be something that you missed...

Hopefully the below pieces are what you were looking for:

#ALSA USB devices
#
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y

#USB Support
#
CONFIG_USB=y
#CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set

#Miscellaneous USB options
#
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
#CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set
#CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set

#USB Host Controller Drivers
#
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
#CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO is not set
#CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD is not set
CONFIG_USB_VHCI_HCD=y

#USB Device Class drivers
#
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=y
#CONFIG_USB_BLUETOOTH_TTY is not set
CONFIG_USB_MIDI=y
#CONFIG_USB_ACM is not set
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
#CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG is not set
#CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DATAFAB is not set
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_FREECOM=y

#USB Network Adapters
#
CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y

then later again

#USB Network Adapters
#
CONFIG_USB_AX8817X=y


Let me know if you see anything there I should change.

Thanks,

Bueller... ? Anyone... ?

Would even be curious to hear if anyone has been able to get the WUSB11 V2.8 to work on any other Linux 2.6.x kernel.

Still hoping there's an answer out there...
