With those patches applied, I get good results on most things, for example: Download a kernel .tar.xz file and write to built-in SD (at 2.5M/s!), a few times, using the built-in USB-based wired Ethernet. dd an entire USB-hosted SD card to /dev/null. apt-get install a couple small packages while doing that dd. Run "concordance" on a Logitech Harmony remote; identify it, and dump the firmware and config to a file on SD card. All that seemed to work fine. I still have the issue where SD card plug/unplug from a USB SD reader isn't recognized. Perhaps that's a kernel config issue, or perhaps there are still some USB issues? > I was also able to successfully connect a WiFi dongle, where before it > would not enumerate.

I then wanted to try WiFi, so I plugged in a USB mouse/keyboard, and started X, trying to use GUI tools. Then I saw some issues. With just the USB mouse/keyboard attached (via a powered hub), and no WiFi device yet, they would work for a while, but pretty soon I kept seeing all USB devices just disappear; only the "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" would be left. Unplugging and replugging didn't fix this; I had to power-cycle. I wonder if there are issues with just USB interrupt transfers, which I assume both HID devices and the USB SD card plug/unplug notifications use?? I tried plugging in the WiFi device and no mouse/keyboard, and retrying a download of a large file using the built-in USB wired Ethernet, and that still worked fine. Unfortunately, I need to read up a bit more on how to configure WiFi without a GUI tool, or switch to Network Manager which I know how to configure manually, before I can really test WiFi. "iwlist wlan0 scanning" did seem to work fine though. So, definitely moving in the right direction:-) But, a few issues left yet. -- 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
