Hi, I have a problem with a Digitus USB 2.0 repeater cable in combination with a Soekris net5501 running OpenBSD 5.2 (see full dmesg at the very end of this mail).
The aim is to improve the position of a UTMS stick ("Option GlobeTrotter HSDPA ICON225 USB") via the repeater cable. The UMTS stick works when directly attached to the Soekris net5501: umsm0 at uhub1 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Option N.V. Globetrotter HSDPA Modem" rev 1.10/0.00 addr 2 umsm0 detached umsm0 at uhub1 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Option N.V.

The stick is not recognized anymore. uhub2 at uhub0 port 1 "Terminus Technology product 0x0101" rev 2.00/1.11 addr 2 If I boot with the repeater cable and UMTS stick already attached: uhub2 at uhub0 port 1 "Terminus Technology product 0x0101" rev 2.00/1.11 addr 2 uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1 Do you have any ideas how to address this? (Yes, I have tested the repeater cable on a different machine (running Linux) and it works there with the same combination of cable and UMTS stick). Thanks!
