is the device dead ?


so i thought i would test this adapter .

my friends window box says unrecognized device error.
All my linux machines give this error


usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 9
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

i had/have a simillar problem to this w/ my netgear 701A 802.11b compactflash card (for my ipaq running familiar) Im basically getting an unrecognized card-used to be recognized, then got a null mac then all it says now is anonymous memory guessing the firmware is shot but i cant reflash that :( thinking the same thing w/ ur usb dongle u might want to see if you cant do a firmware update or something on a windows machine

I'm using kernel 2.6.11.5 (yes, from kernel.org), and I get a message similar to yours when I load my USB modules, DimGR. It looks like this:

usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/all, error -71
usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 As it turns out, error 71 (according to include/asm-generic/errno.h in any kernel source tree) is EPROTO (protocol error). (The kernel uses negative values to denote error returns; that's why it's -71. The function actually returned -EPROTO.)

This is new behavior in 2.6.11.5: 2.6.9 (what I had before) did not give that message.

It's not causing me any problems (my USB mouse still works), but then again it isn't the exact same message as yours either. Mine says read/all, while yours says read/64. Mine detects it at a different address which works, yours gives the same error twice.

I am with 2.6.11 too. I said it might be dead because a windows pc can not set it up either. WIndows give the unrecognized mulfunctioned device error.

Linux should auto load the prism2_usb module once i plug it in but it does not.

All my other usb devices like mice , flash drives work ok
