Comment 1 Mithrah 2015-07-01 08:38:14 UTC

This issue was caused by tlp and the USB autosuspend feature.
With USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:8153" in /etc/default/tlp the device works very well under Fedora 22.


Sorry ...

I have very similar problem (Fedora 26) to this issue, but USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:8153" didn't help
