[Linux-usb-users] usbnet with pl2301 does not work

[Martin Drohmann]

I have an USB-USB cable with a Prolific PL2301 chip in its middle. Up to a certain point it works okay:

- The usbnet module loads into the kernel (Version 2.4.20)
- "ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1 up" does not complain about anything
- I get a ping on both computers.

However, if I ping long enough ( about 15-30 times ) or I send large files via netcat ( > 500kb ) the connection breaks
and the kernel reports:

Jan 5 18:14:34 erde kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: usb0: transmit timed out
Jan 5 18:15:14 erde last message repeated 4 times

In this state, the cable is only good for chatting between both computers. As this is not the reason why I have bought
it, I would be glad to hear from you, if you have an idea how to repair this.

Thanks,

Martin
