Bug#525220: Bluetooth problem caused by fake dongles?

2011-06-21 Thread Alexander Heinz

Hello!

I also have a problem with Bluetooth. I have recently bought a new USB 
dongle in the store (instead of on ebay) that does not seem to have this 
problem. The funny thing is that the USB IDs are identical, so the two 
devices claim to be identical as well.


What also makes me wonder is the fact the MAC address of my dongle does 
not seem to be unique. I have several dongles, all of them have the 
address 00:1F:81:00:01:1C. Google for it and you will find more people 
that have dongles with the same address.


I came across the following blog that seems to confirm that there are 
fake CSR dongles on the market:

Is it possible that all of us have bought counterfeit dongles?

Best regards,
Alex

Bug#525220: Bluetooth problem caused by fake dongles?

2011-06-21 Thread Alexander Heinz

My mobile phone showed up as present on one of the release candidate kernels, 
so mine is not fake.

We could always borrow a friends laptop that runs Micros~1youknowwhat and test 
the dongles for operation.


I am not saying that my dongle does not work at all. What I am saying is 
that my dongle claims to be based on a CSR chip although it is not. The 
USB IDs corresponds to CSR but the chip label says ASC AS3620QA. This is 
a counterfeit.


Is very easy to tell. Just open your dongle and check the label on the chip.

Best regards,
Alex

Bug#568367: please reopen this issue

2010-04-12 Thread Alexander Heinz
This bug report has been closed although it has not been resolved. The 
suggested solution (to install usb_modeswitch) does not fix the problem.


Do you need more information to debug this? What can I do to help? Do 
you need me to add another bug report or can you reopen the existing one?


Thank you!

Best regards,
Alex

Bug#568367: usb mode switch is not the root cause

2010-04-06 Thread Alexander Heinz

USB mode switch does not improve the situation.

This makes sense because if usb mode switch was required for this kernel 
version and device, the virtual serial ports would not even come up.

Bug#568367: usbmon logs of the vodafone k3520/huawei e169 ttyUSB0-2 disconnect problem

2010-02-05 Thread Alexander Heinz


I have created a usbmon log and hope that it helps with the analysis. Logging 
was started before the stick was plugged in. The disconnect happened 15.1 hours 
after plugging it in.


The file size of the compressed log is 6.6MBytes which is probably too big for 
sending it via e-mail. So I have uploaded it to rapidshare:

Bug#568367: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686: vodafone k3520 a.k.a. huawei e169 umts 3g umts usb stick randomly disconnects and reconnects

2010-02-04 Thread Alexander Heinz
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: normal

Hello!

I own 3 Vodafone K3520 UMTS 3G sticks which are also known as Huawei E169 as 
far as I know

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem

Manufacturer: huawei
Model: K3520
Revision: 11.314.21.31.00

I have to face the problem that these devices (I have 3 of them) seem to 
randomly disconnect and reconnect. Sometimes it takes days for this to happen, 
sometimes less than an hour.

I have tested this with Linux (Debian unstable/sid, kernel 2.6.32-5), but I can 
also reproduce this with other kernel versions

The steps to reproduce this are fairly easy:
- boot a recent kernel
- deactivate the PIN of your SIM
- insert the SIM into the USB stick (tried SIMs of several operators with the 
same effect)
- connect it to your USB port
- check the dmesg output from time to time and wait till the problem occurs (no 
need to establish a connection)

The interesting part of the log at the end of this post seems to be:
[227101.066954] option: option_instat_callback: error -84
[227101.149935] option: option_instat_callback: error -108

As far as I can tell (I do not know for sure), this seems to trigger the 
reconnect.

I have tested this with 3 different UMTS/3G sticks on 4 different PCs in 
different scenarios (the stick was always the only device connected to USB, I 
have also tried to put a USB hub with an external power supply in between, 
tried both, PCs with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0).

Best regards,
Alex
