Greetings from a Linux newbie (though I did have some dealings with Unix years ago, so I'm not totally ignorant...) I hope this post is okay for this list; if not, apologies, and please re-direct me.
My setup is a Dell XPS500 with Win98 on /dev/hda, Suse 8.0 Pro on hdb. I have 2 USB ports, my mouse connected to one, a Belkin 4-port self-powered hub (described by yast as TUSB2046) on the other, to which I currently only have connected my Speedtouch (on hub port 1). This all works fine under Windows. Thanks to you guys (and especially v at http://www.vnet.ndirect.co.uk/linux/btFAQ/ for putting it all together in one file), I'm now up and running with Suse on BTopenWorld with a minimum of fuss. I do however have one problem, namely that Linux fails to detect my modem at startup. The relevant bootup messages look like this: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team ip_conntrack (1024 buckets, 8192 max) CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California PPP generic driver version 2.4.1 usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 14:22:01 Mar 27 2002 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:07.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:0c.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:10.0 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x1000, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x45e/0x1e) is not claimed by any active driver. usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 84000280, flags 0, urb c5bc3240, burb c5bc3340 usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 84000280, flags 0, urb c5bc3240, burb c5bc3340 usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 9 ret -6 usb.c: registered new driver hiddev usb.c: registered new driver hid usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1883 input0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse� Explorer] on usb1:2.0 hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3 VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 4 ports detected VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 80000380, flags 0, urb c5bc36c0, burb c5bc3640 hub.c: usb_hub_port_status (3) failed (err = -6) hub.c: connect-debounce failed, port 4 disabled usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 80000300, flags 0, urb c5bc36c0, burb c5bc3640 hub.c: cannot disable port 4 of hub 3 (err = -6) usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 80000380, flags 0, urb c5bc36c0, burb c5bc3640 hub.c: get_hub_status failed Also, after boot I get messages on xconsole like this; usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 332 usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1452 usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1444 The only way I can progress is to crawl on the floor, unplug the modem from the hub, and plug it back in. Hotplug then detects it, and I can run modem_run and pppd to get connected. But there must be an better way surely? Is there some sort of command which can cause the USB hardware to be probed? While I'm about it, a couple of supplementary questions: 1. Is there a pppd (or other) command to disconnect the modem from the line (I'm paranoid, don't like being permanently connected, I'm sure you clever hackers can find a way round my firewall!)? 2. I really miss those 'modem lights' which Windows puts in the system tray, indicating line traffic. Is there an applet or something which may do similar under Linux?
