2.6.0 problem with usb_set_configuration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am working on a system using BlueCat Linux 5.0 (kernel 2.6.0). We are
running into a problem where if the user rapidly inserts and removes USB
devices, the calls to usb_set_configuration call eventually fails (after
somewhere around 5-15 attempts). The error I am receiving is "can't set config
#1, error -71", which is in usb_new_device.

Unfortunately, we are compelled by business decisions to stick with this
kernel, although we can probably (there are some binary-only drivers involved)
patch the usb core stuff up to something more current.

Can anyone point me at the changes that would be required to take care of
this, or at least make it much less repeatable?

I cannot really share much on the project, I am a contractor and have to honor
an NDA, but I can say that we are not doing anything that would violate the
GPL, such as developing non-GPL drivers of our own.

TIA.
