1 Hi,
2
3 I have an ancient Dell Inspiron 3000 running Gentoo with a 2.6.14
4 kernel. I'm trying to get USB to work.
5
6 # grep USB .config | grep "=y$"
7 CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
8 CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
9 CONFIG_USB=y
10 CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
11 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
12 CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y
13 CONFIG_USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y
14 CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y
15 CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
16 CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
17 CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y
18 CONFIG_USB_HID=y
19 CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
20 CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
21 CONFIG_USB_MON=y
22
23 But when I plug something into the USB port, lsusb shows nothing:
24
25 # lsusb
26 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
27
28 (The two USB devices I have tried are a Logiteh Trackman Wheel and a
29 Creative Webcam Notebook)
30
31 This is what lshw has to say about USB:
32
33 *-usb
34 description: USB Controller (UHCI)
35 product: 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB
36 vendor: Intel Corporation
37 physical id: 1.2
38 bus info:
39 pci@00:01.2
40 version: 01
41 clock: 33MHz
42 capabilities: uhci bus_master
43 configuration: driver=uhci_hcd
44 resources: ioport:fcc0-fcdf irq:10
45
46 And this is what's in my /proc filesystem:
47
48 # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
49
50 T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2

59 E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=255ms

61 In contrast, if I plug the camera into a Linux system with a working
62 USB, I get much more, including:
63
64 T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
65 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
66 P: Vendor=041e ProdID=401f Rev= 1.00
67
68 Which is indeed the Creative webcam, so I know it is working at least to
69 that extent.
70
71 What am I missing to get USB working on my laptop? Any suggestions?
72
73 Thanks,
74 Michael
