Description Petr Tuma 2006-05-09 13:31:17 UTC
Description of problem:

The recent kernel versions (I have noted this first on 2.6.16-1.2096_FC4, with
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 being the last version to work), my HP iPAQ H5550 USB
connection (which is normally used with USBNET to set up a network between the
desktop and the handheld) stopped working.

Upon connecting the device, dmesg says:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error 16
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error 16
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error 16
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error 16

Looking into older logs when things used to work, the messages were:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[19]  MMIO=[ff3ff000-ff3ff7ff]  Max
Packet=[2048]
usb0: register 'cdc_subset' at usb-0000:00:1f.2-1, Linux Device, 02:b0:eb:71:56:5d
usbcore: registered new driver cdc_subset

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel 2.6.16-1.2108_FC4 and kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC4

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

Just connect the device.

Comment 1 Petr Tuma 2006-05-11 13:56:27 UTC
Oops. I've double-checked and it looks like the last kernel not to have this
problem was 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 and not 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 as was stated above.


Comment 2 Petr Tuma 2006-08-25 10:00:55 UTC
Checked with rawhide kernel 2.6.17-1.2564.fc6 and the problem still persists.


Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-09-17 02:08:53 UTC
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs]

FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to
release security related updates for the kernel.  As this bug is not security
related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated
to FC5.

Please retest with Fedora Core 5.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Petr Tuma 2006-09-17 11:28:49 UTC
As pointed out in my comment #2, this has already been retested with FC5 and
rawhide kernel from FC6, the bug still persists.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 18:15:29 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 6 Petr Tuma 2006-10-16 20:02:22 UTC
Retested with 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5. The problem is still present.

Comment 7 Petr Tuma 2006-10-30 14:45:37 UTC
Retested with 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6. Still the same.


Comment 8 Paul Wouters 2006-11-14 04:48:55 UTC
I can confirm this. It seems to be caused by the diabling of the USB Gadgets and
USB Gadgets Ethernet module g_ether, used by usbnet. Therefor, no usb0 network
devices are available for usb networking. I am currently recompiling
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen to test if enabling these resolves my issue (which i
believe is the same as this issue)

Comment 9 Petr Tuma 2006-11-20 15:01:17 UTC
This is unlikely to be caused by disabling the gadgets module. The device is not
even listed in lsusb, which means that the initial device connection failes and
the process does not get to the higher level modules at all.

BTW confirmed in 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.


Comment 10 Paul Wouters 2006-11-20 18:03:57 UTC
I can confirm that. The usb0 only appears when the device is there. My bad. So
ignore my comment above - it is wrong.
