1 Hello,
2
3 i own a USB docking station which also contains a serial connector.
4
5 The host will do USB 2.0 (kernel module ehci-hcd) and detects the PL2303
6 serial port properly. It loads the appropiate kernel module, but at the end
7 it fails somehow with the following message:
8 ---------------- cut --------------------
9 pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303_open - failed submitting interrupt urb, error -28
10 ---------------- cut --------------------
11
12 As result the device /dev/ttyUSB0 is allocated by udev, but not working.
13
14 After some tests i got a work around. I have to unload the kernel module
15 ehci-hcd. Due uhci-hcd remains loaded the device works in USB 1.1 mode. Here
16 the serial port works properly.
17
18 Is there a fix the keep me from unloading the kernel module every time i want
19 to use the serial port ?
20 For example by directing the system to always bind the serial port to uhci-hcd
21 (USB 1.1). Or better by a fix for ehci-hcd/pl2303 kernel.
22
23 My system is Gentoo 2007.0, i386 and x86_64.
