Hi folks:
2 questions, hopefully simple and FAQed. (I did RTFM but I am not sure
if I have the right fine manual to read...)
1) USB 2.0: The www.linux-usb.org page gives me a pointer to a patch.
Great. It doesnt install against 2.4.19 (lots of rejects). Could
anyone point me to a document/page/tarball describing or containing the
correct kernel snapshot to patch against?
The USB 2.0 ports are recognized, but the devices that attach to them
(a nice Belkin USB 2.0 hard disk enclosure with a new 120 GB hard disk)
is recognized as a 1.x device (12 Mb/s). The patch (according to the
other page) fixes this, by providing drivers for the devices.
If there are other forms of magic/incantations/kernel wizardry/user
space tools I should look to, please do point them out to me.
2) A customer of mine has a Microsolutions 155015 80GB USB 2.0 drive,
purchased in large part because Microsolutions claims it is linux
compatible. I bought the aforementioned Belkin bit, and my drive
attaches fine. The Microsolutions does not seem to work. The messages
in the /var/log/messages look like this:

It looks like the hotplug agent couldn't find the right driver, so did
not attach it. Are there updated tables for the USB containing new
vendor/product codes and mappings? Is there a document explaining how
to hack this, and which tables to hack?
Clues/thoughts/ideas welcome. Thanks!
Joe
