Re: problem with Soekris net5501 and USB hub

I originally sent this to the Soekris list thinking it was platform specific. I got a couple of replies suggesting that it's a FreeBSD problem instead. So, if anybody can offer any insights, I would most appreciate it.

- a HP Laserjet 1020 printer
- an APC Back UPS 350 UPS
- a 6-in-one card reader (not so fussed about this one).




The hub itself is recognised (although I don't have the output from
usbdevs available at the moment). The UPS doesn't ever seem to be
recognised when connected via the hub - there's nothing in dmesg and
nothing in usbdevs. Ditto for the 6-in-one card reader - the LED on the
front of it doesn't even light up.

The printer sometimes gets partially recognised. The output from
"usbdevs -v" when the printer is connected directly and working properly
looks like:

    Controller /dev/usb0:

    port 1 powered
    port 2 powered
    port 3 powered
    port 4 powered
   Controller /dev/usb1:

    port 2 powered
    port 3 powered
    port 4 powered







My (custom) kernel has:

   device          usb             # USB Bus (required)

   device          scbus           # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
   device          da              # Direct Access (disks)
   device          uhci            # UHCI PCI->USB interface
   device          ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface
   device          ehci            # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
   device          ugen            # Generic

So, does anybody have any ideas about how to fix this.

Thanks for any help,
 Graham

I have a Soekris net5501 running FreeBSD 7-Stable. I want to connect a number of USB devices to it: The Soekris box has only one USB port brought out to a connector on the case, so rather than mod the box to add another port, I thought I would just use an external hub. If I plug any of the devcies directly into the Soekris's USB port it works fine. However, if I use a USB hub then it doesn't work at all. I've tried it with two different hubs and two different cables. I've tried the hubs both with a plug pack, and being powered from the USB bus. The only thing common to the failures is the Soefkis and freeBSD. The hubs are both USB 2.0 according to their advertising. addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), AMD(0x0000), rev 1.00 addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), AMD(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, HP LaserJet 1020(0x2b17), Hewlett-Packard(0x03f0), rev 1.00 However, if I connect it via the hub, it sometimes doesn't show it at all, while other times it says something like (doing this from memory): port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, 0x2b17(0x2b17), vendor 0x03f0(0x03f0), rev 1.00 So, it can see it but it doesn't resolve the vendor or device ids. It looks like the Soekris can see whatever is directly connected to it, but can't (reliably) see things that more than one step away. device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da

see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131074 i think your case is very similar to mine
