usb in 2.4.22-pre6?

usb in 2.4.22-pre6?

[Gene Heskett]

Greets everybody;

I have a camera, a Logitech(Sunplus ccd chipset) ClickSmart 310, usb 
interface, that almost works with qcam-vc.  But I just noticed, after 
rebooting to 2.4.22-pre6 earlier today, that the display on the 
camera no longer is reporting 'PC', and that there are some messages 
that look like problems in dmesg.

So my conclusion is that whatever has been adjusted in the usb stuffs, 
has now rendered the camera totally un-reachable.

This would make life difficult as I'm currently in negotiations with 
the Sunplus folks on the left coast trying to get a data sheet on the 
chipset in it so that I might try to write a new driver for these.

have you started usbmgr or loaded the modules for chipset, hub and
devicetype?

root@coyote root]# insmod usbmgr
insmod: usbmgr: no module by that name found

Is this some new option in the usb menu of a make xconfig?

"usbmgr"?  I don't think that is even shipped by any distro anymore.

Try asking the authors of the driver for your device, as it lives
outside of the kernel tree, we can't do very much for you, sorry.

hmm.. i have it on my debian box and use it. it will configure the modules
dpeending on the device and allows me to run scripts on plug. What is the
new preffered way to do this?

Try using the hotplug package instead.

A PS: to this one, clues if you will, to be added to the other info 
I've posted regarding a ClickSmart 310 camera, and the qcam-vc 
drivers.

I built a kernel with usb debugging turned on, which made it work.  
I'd also tried to build v4l into the kernel but that got an error 
exit, so I went back to making it as a module.  So with everything 
V4L related is as modules below.

The difference between the verbose usb debugging on/off apparently 
does something to the timeing.  With the debugging on, it works but 
the dmesg buffer is overrun so I don't get a full report only the 
tail end, and with the debugging turned back off and the kernel 
rebuilt, no other changes, then it fails, with these lines being 
logged in /var/log/dmesg:
--------
vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0005
host/usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 1641
hub.c: usb_hub_port_status (2) failed (err = -84)
hub.c: connect-debounce failed, port 3 disabled
--------

And the device is not intitialized.

Is this a usefull clue?
