Hi, I have an 80 Gig external USB 2.0 hard drive that has been working fine with my built-in USB 1.1 ports. I wanted to buy a cheap PCI card with two 2.0 ports on it and throw it in there just so I can access that drive faster. I did attempt to figure out what hardware is supported or not but just got horribly confused and figured I'd just try the dang thing out.
So I got CompUSA's cheapest card and threw it in there. The hope was that upon booting, Mandrake would detect, configure and mount the drive like it did when it was plugged into the on-board usb ports. No luck. I downloaded the usbview tool, and my new card does not show up in there anywhere. I'm pretty lost with the ohci, uhci, ehci drivers etc (meaning I don't know how to install or manage drivers). Can anyone tell me if this just is not going to work at all, or maybe point me in the right direction for getting this guy configured. I am running Mandrake 10.0 Official with a 2.6 kernel. I saw this on a post somewhere and figured I'd run it, which at least gives me hope that the card is visible: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jeff]$ lspci -v | grep HCI 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) 01:09.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) 01:09.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Thanks! jeff please cc my email address in replies ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
