I have a Tecra 520CDT laptop. This has one internal hard drive, and I'd like to expand it by using a USB2 drive. The laptop has a single USB1 port, so I've acquired a generic Cardbus USB2/Firewire card.
This nearly works fine, but the EHCI part of the card is failing to start. Luckily, due to various bits of good design it's gracefully falling back to USB1, so I can access the drive, but it's, um, not fast. Any suggestions? dmesg enclosed. --- OpenBSD 4.0-stable (GENERIC) #0: Sun Mar 18 17:09:20 GMT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/vol/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Pentium/MMX ("GenuineIntel" 586-class) 166 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX cpu0: F00F bug workaround installed real mem = 50032640 (48860K) avail mem = 37126144 (36256K) using 636 buffers containing 2605056 bytes (2544K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(63) BIOS, date 11/01/99, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfe95b apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: battery life expectancy 98% apm0: AC on, battery charge high, charging, estimated 1:44 hours apm0: flags 20102 dobusy 0 doidle 1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf9980/80 (3 entries) pcibios0: no compatible PCI ICU found: ICU vendor 0xffff product 0xffff pcibios0: Warning, unable to fix up PCI interrupt routing pcibios0: PCI bus #21 is the last bus WARNING: can't reserve area for I/O APIC.
