Getting a USB 2 CardBus to work

[Alan_uk]

I have a HP Omnibook xe4100 with USB1.1 ports.

I also have a USB 2.0 PCMCIA CardBus  with 2 ports but it is not recognised when plugged in. The card worked under Windows XP and the slot works OK with a wi-fi card under LXDE.

There are few identification marks on the card, just P/N L-312CB. My records states it's a SOHOUSB or should that be SOHO USB.

Is there a way to make this card operative?

Thanks

Immediately after plugging in the card do, in a terminal (may need to be root)

dmesg


Copy and paste into your next post the last number of lines which should deal with the device ....

[muungwana]

your statements seem contradicting. You said the card isnt recognized when plugged in but then you say the card works fine in LXDE when used with a wifi card? If it works fine, then it is recognized or are you talking about two different computers here?

Is the wifi card usb based? and the wifi card works when it is plugged in to the usb end of the pcmcia card? If the answer is "yes" to both, then the problem could be with whatever other usb device you are attaching it to the usb part of the card.

What is the usb device you are attaching to the card?

Bit unclear which lines are wanted so I've uploaded the whole file here:

I was trying to make clear (but obviously failed that the pcmcia _socket_ is OK as it works with a wifi card. But when the USB ports card is plugged into the socket it does not work. 

The wifi card is a pcmcia card and the usb ports 2.0 card is a separate pcmcia card
 

What is the usb device you are attaching to the card?

A memory stick for starters that works in the 1.1 usb port on the motherboard. Ultimately I want to insert a printer or a usb wifi device with antenna or a cable mouse or a infrared mouse. The two ports on the motherboard are too few and they are right next to each other and the power cable so many items cannot physically fit

thanks for helping

This would appear to be the device

P / N: L-312CB - 32-bit CardBus Type II - Hot-swap and Plug & Play - two USB 2.0 ports for connecting USB devices - NEC Chipset - Compatible with Windows 98 / 98 SE / ME / 2000 / XP and MacOS 10.1 (according to manufacturer specifications)

You need to delete the "blocked-" from the link to see the pic.

I am unsure what conclusion to draw from your dmesg output  

Here is what I had in mind ......  with nothing inserted in the pcmcia slot, do  dmesg  and not the last few lines of output.
Now insert the USB adaptor, and do  dmesg  again.

If the system 'sees' it I would expect there to be several new lnes at the end of dmesg output .....  it is those lines that should be of interest.

One other question ......  does this device currently work in Windows? ...  am wondering if it is possible that it is now non-functional, as you mentioned it had worked in Windows.


regards.

open up the terminal, log in as root and then do the following

1. Unplug the card.
2. Run this command: service syslog start
3. Run this command: echo "" > /var/log/syslog
4. plug back in the card and then wait for around five seconds
5. Run this command and give your output: cat /var/log/syslog
6. Run this command and give your output: dmesg | tail -n 20

Yes, that looks the same though I never noticed the center socket and don't recall having any cable. I note no mention of Linux

OK. With nothing inserted and from the last "EXT4":

One other question ......  does this device currently work in Windows? ...  am wondering if it is possible that it is now non-functional, as you mentioned it had worked in Windows.

Yes, it worked in this HP Omnibook before Windows Update "killed" the PC (a year ago)  and now I have put PCLinuxOS on it. I have a work laptop but that has no pcmcia slot so I can't try it under windows. I suppose pcmcia  have been superseded by usb ports. I could use a USB hub instead but that requires another power socket and is less convenient on the move.

Many thanks

Does this help?

Many thanks

[muungwana]

your laptop has how many ports?
 Your output reports 5 ports as being recognized, just checking if the system is confused and it see the two on the card as being five or if the five comes from including the ones on the card and the ones on the computer.

Your output says the card is recognized and its ports are registered. The problem could be coming from those "IOCTL::unknown" errors.

[Alan_uk]

your laptop has how many ports?

2 on the laptop (1.1) and 2 on the pcmcia card (2.0) + there is that center round port* on the pcmcia card. That would then make the 5.

* looks more like a power port - a round hole with a center pin.

[muungwana]

i suspect the problem is caused by below line on your  log file

Jul 27 00:00:09 localhost klogd: IOCTL::unknown IOCTL's cmd = 0x00008947

This kind of a problem is easily solved by changing to a different kernel. Go to synaptic and install the latest kernel you can find and try again.

You may also google the error msg to see if anybody else got the same thing and if their problem was solved. I googled for the error msg and couldnt come up with anything

This PClinuxOS was only downloaded a few weeks ago so I'm not inclined with my basic experience to do a kernel update.

I'm running out of time - I need to get things working for a community event tomorrow!

The laptop has a PS/2 port and I've found a serial mouse port, so that saves 1 USB port.

Also in the spares box I found a 4 port USB hub and that is working OK other than I have to be careful disconnecting the USB wireless aerial if it is plugged into the hub, as the whole system hangs and needs a cold reboot. Of course it takes power (I'm running off the car battery via a 150w inverter) but not much I guess.

Thanks again.

innova,
            What ISO did you use to install?

Is your OS fully updated through Synaptic - Mark All Updates?

You appear to have an older kernel ......  what is the result of the followinf command?

uname -r

If it is 2.6.33.7  as appears to be the case from your first post then please fully update the OS, install a new kernel through Synaptic, and then install and run Aptupgrade.

If you have used one of the 2011 ISOs you can ignore the Aptupgrade instruction.

regards
