I'm trying to use the onda h600 (a pcmcia express card for UMTS-HSDPA)
on an assembled desktop under kubuntu 7.04 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic),
but the problem is present even in 7.10 and 8.04 alpha 6 (this has a
2.6.24-8-generic kernel). The card apparentely have a ZTE MF330
chipset, and is OHCI compliant.
I want to use it with elan u132, an usb external adapter for
UMTS-HSDPA express cards. In a document found on the net and written
by Tony Olech (the author and maintainer of the elan u132 linux driver
in Elan Digital Systems), I read that the device (u132) must load 2
modules: the ftdi-u132 when it is plugged in the usb port, and the
u132-hcd, when it recognize an express card inside it.
What happen is that, when I insert the card in the u132 device, the
green light (it flashes, is not fix) of the u132 becomes red. On what
I understand, the module ftdi-u132 is loaded but not the u132-hcd.
With an dmesg command I received these data, when I plug the u132 in
the usb port:
[ 15.628000] driver ftdi-elan built at 23:19:53 on Oct 14 2007

N.B.: I deleted many other lines similar to the last above.
The part wiht the failed initialization starts when you enter the onda
h600 in the u132, or starts soon as you have already plugged the onda
h600 in.
I see on ubuntu that there is a bug (129433) that maybe is related:
the user of the onda h600 must place in the blacklist the driver
ehci_hcd, but even if I do that I obtain no good results.
It seems that the second module driver, u132-hcd, have problem when it
try to load itself and u132 so don't recognize the onda h600.
I also include data from scripts/ver_linux:

As far as I know, the u132-hcd driver isn't being maintained by anybody
except the author Tony Olech -- and maybe not even by him.

thanks for your response. This means that the elan u132 device is no
more supported because the u132-hcd is not supported? If not, what is
the substitute for it, if any exists?

I have no idea, sorry. Maybe someone at Elan Digital Systems can help
you.

sincerely I contacted Tony Olech at the email address in elan, but
until now I never received response. So I don't know what to do.

do you think it is possible to contact the creator and maintainer of
the driver, Tony Olech? Can you suggest me in what mode I can do it?
Ah, I see with google that some people touched the u132-hcd driver, so
maybe it is supported.

I don't know.

It is not supported. The people who touched it were making minor or
cosmetic changes.

so I have no hope to see my onda h600 card to work on linux inside the
elan u132? :-(

You shouldn't think there's no hope at all. Maybe you can find
somebody who will fix u132-hcd or will rewrite it entirely. Or if you
want it badly enough, you could fix the driver yourself.
