Subject: Problem with USB ports and a dongle

Hi !

I'm trying to use a dongle for ndiswrapper, but it fails because a
problem of usb. Note that the problem appear when ndiswrapper is fully
uninstalled (and others packages as ndiswrapper-utils, with modprobe -r,
etc...).

So ; when I get on the first time the dongle, a lsusb give :
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0457:0163 Silicon Integrated Systems Corps.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
But, a few seconds later, the dongle is not recognize with sometimes an
error -71.
Then, lsusb forget the driver and get :
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

How can I configure the kernel to have the good configuration ? I tried
different ways, but it fails.

I already reinstalled the bios.

See at below for the result of these commands (when I try the dongle) :
"lspci -v |grep HCI"
"cat /var/log/messages" (the end)
"dmesg |grep usb"

Thanks for help,
Thibaud.

NB1 : thanks to Alex Davis and Oliver Neukum for advices and
recommendations about check if the problem was from ndiswrapper or not.
I hope there is not a special list for kernel USB ; if yes : apologizes,
I couldn't find it.

NB2 : I'm not sure if this message is too long or not. I included the
mention "End of the message" at last.

This report is valid only if ndiswrapper was never loaded from booting
to the error. Please post the report to [email protected]
and recompile your kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG.
