Subject: USB-Serial fails with USB 2.0 Hub

Hi.

Two problems with kernel 2.6.4 (SuSe 9.1):

1) When I use a Belkin F5U409 usb-serial converter:
- when plugged directly into chipset (Intel ICH5), works great.
- when plugged in through a USB 1.0 hub, works great
- when plugged in throught USB 2.0 Hub (Belkin F5U237), fails.
Failure mechanism is: Tx works, Rx does not.

Any further info someone needs, or thoughts?

Thanks

Just a simple me, too. I've got the problem with a TerraCAM USB Pro. Plugged
into my Apple Keyboard it works (with a warning about high power
consumption). But if I plug it into my Belkin F5U237 the driver complains
with: "drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: init isoc: usb_submit_urb(0) ret -38".

Have you already tried another USBv2 hub?

Cheers,
-Gregor

PS: I'm using a ASUS P4C800deluxe and Linux 2.6.9

A simple list of working and nonworking devices:

Works:
* Logitech MouseMan Optical Dual
* Apple Pro Keyboard
* Iomega ZIP 100

Works not:
* TerraCAM USB Pro: (ov511 v2.28)
drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: init isoc: usb_submit_urb(0) ret -38

* USB-to-Serial (pl2303)
pl2303_open - failed submitting interrupt urb, error -28


Perhaps a driver programming bug?

Cheers,
-Gregor

Known issue. See the linux-usb-devel mailing list for more details.

For now, just don't do that :)
