Description Samuel Thibault 2006-05-07 18:51:43 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.15
Distribution: debian
Hardware Environment: USB 1.1 hub
Software Environment: cat/minicom
Problem Description:
character transfer between pc and hp4x stopped working with kernel 2.6.16

Steps to reproduce:
plug hp4x device (it is properly recognized), start minicom, type characters in minicom or on hp4x, nothing appears on the other side.  With 2.6.15 it works ok.

I enabled debugging in the module, and I'll attach lsusb + dmesg
Note that the USBDEVFS_CONTROL errors in dmesg correspond to the "cannot read device status" error in lsusb

I don't see anything wrong with that kernel log, what are you seeing
happening?  I see the data go to the device successfully, and that's about it.
Comment 5 Samuel Thibault 2006-05-08 09:48:50 UTC 
Indeed, data seems to go, but the device doesn't get it at all. And in the first part of the log (where it looks like the device is idle), I was actually typing data from the device to the computer (which it apparently never received).
Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2006-08-30 00:58:27 UTC 
Is this fixed in the latest 2.6.18-rc5 release?
Comment 7 Samuel Thibault 2006-08-30 13:06:27 UTC 
2.6.18-rc5 works fine indeed, thanks!
