The suggested echo command (itself) was successful using "edgeport_4" directory. After loading io_edgeport on the ubuntu 3.2 kernel, dmesg still reported: [ 192.866565] usb 2-1.6: new full-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd [ 192.959323] hub 2-1.6:1.0: USB hub found [ 192.959477] hub 2-1.6:1.0: 1 port detected [ 193.229880] usb 2-1.6.1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd I was going to try the echo/manual load on the Debian 2.6 kernel, but I see that the /sys structure is pretty different. If it would be useful, let me know where to echo the data. thanks. doug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
