Hello,
It looks like module parameters are not setable via sysfs in 2.6.11-rc1
E.g.
arise parameters # echo -en Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
-bash: /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first: Permission denied
arise parameters # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),20(dialout),26(tape),27(video)
arise parameters #
arise parameters # ls -la /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 13 22:22 /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
arise parameters #
This is sad because it seems that my usb flash stick (transcebd jetflash)
doesn't like new USB device initialization scheme introduced in 2.6.10.

I'm seeing the same problem here. I'll dig into it later tonight.

any updates on this? It still results in a permission denied with a
recent 2.6.11-rc2 kernel.

Here's a patch that fixes this for me. It's as if the function was
never implemented at all for some reason. Sorry for not catching this
when tj's patches went in that changed all of this logic.
Let me know if this fixes the problem for you or not.
thanks,

works fine for me. Please apply mainline as soon as possible.

Linus, please apply this to your tree, it fixes the module parameter
stuff in sysfs so that it actually works. Was verified by Marcel.
