Subject: solution to "usb disconnect problems regarding usb 1.1 and 2.0"
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 13:14:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200706171314.12254.wolfgang.schnitker@gmx.de> (raw)

Dear Kernel Developers,

I had some trouble with my usb devices, often showing a disconnect problem. I 
did some googleing and saw, that it is a less or more common problem.

This problem is discussed in various internet sites. 

log from my machine:

I have a solution/hint to solve this problem.

In my case I had following NOT WORKING config:

internal USB-Card PCI --> USB Hub --> Card Reader 
( ali usb card, i-rocks hub, Phision cardreader)

00:08.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:08.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01)

linux sets it up using:

ehci --> ehci --> ehci (total usb 2.0 support)

Bus 004 Device 028: ID 0d7d:0240 Phison Electronics Corp. I/O-Magic/Transcend 
6-in-1 Card Reader
Bus 004 Device 027: ID 05e3:0605 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub [ednet]



but only the hub is a usb 2.0 compliant product. the card-reader is usb 1.1!!

So i changed physically the hub back to a 1.1 device.

and now linux sets this to 

ohci --> ohci --> ohci

Bus 003 Device 011: ID 0d7d:0240 Phison Electronics Corp. I/O-Magic/Transcend 
6-in-1 Card Reader
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 03eb:3301 Atmel Corp. at43301 4-port Hub


And this configuration works perfect, without any trouble any more.

So in my opinion the problem is comming from ehci, which tries to set up a usb 
1.1 device in a 2.0 mode. this results in severe timing problems, because the 
1.1 device is too slow to handle this protocol, this results in a "dead" 
device from the point of view of the driver (no reaction). It disconnects the 
device and reconnects it again. It is only a problem, if you use a HUB 
between the USB Controller and the end device. I think we have to take care 
about the last device in the chain to set it up in the correct way.

now log looks like this (and I am happy):

I hope, that this will help you to work on this point.

Chears & have a nice day.
