Well, the biggest problem is that finding what controller is used |
5 |
isn't always that trivial. |

I did some looking around though and found the Belkin F5U220 4+1-port |
8 |
PCI card, which apparently are based around the NEC LSI controller and |
9 |
is not too outrageously priced. If anyone has first hand experience |
10 |
with this card or can make other specific recommendations, I would |
11 |
like to hear about it. |

If that is the case, I must be doing something wrong. From somewhere, |
17 |
I was under the impression that the Nvidia CK8S was just a re-branded |
18 |
Via. The motherboard in my system is a Nvidia NF3 250Gb CN-8N2ALSR4, |
19 |
CPU is Athlon64 3000+. Partial lspci output: |

In the kernel configuration under Device Drivers -> USB Support, I |
28 |
have EHCI (CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD) and OHCI (CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD) |
29 |
enabled, and UHCI (CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD) disabled. Don't tell me all I |
30 |
need to do is use different kernel configuration settings? (I run |
31 |
kernel 2.6.13-gentoo-r5.) |
32 |
|
33 |
If it helps, the problem is that USB "mostly" works, but after |
34 |
transferring a certain amount (which I have not been able to determine |
35 |
in more detail) of data to or from a device, communication with that |
36 |
device simply ceases until I at least cycle its connection to the |
37 |
computer. (Power cycle the device, or unplug and plug back in the USB |
38 |
cable.) At that point the device is reset, and nice recovery (as in |
39 |
resume from wherever it was) is impossible. |
