I can only find linux-2.6/drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c, which definitely is not providing a usb-hub (like linux-2.6/drivers/usb/core/hub.c) and also not a USB-storage interface. The different USB-devices can be on the same chip, but they will still be different devices in the USB-stack. If you can attach or copy&paste your /proc/bus/usb/devices, I should be able to tell you what bus/port the smsc95xx is connected to, and how you can 'disconnect' it without unloading the smsc95xx-module. Using unbind/bind over sysfs you can logically disconnect the driver from the device, which would allow you to do some tests without side-effects caused by the smsc95xx driver. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
