Description:
|
This product is a 32-bit Type II CardBus device that fits into laptops to provide USB 1.1+2.0 functionality. The card has two 480Mbps USB ports that are powered by an external adapter.
The external adapter is only needed with some devices:
``From the cardbus controller of the laptop you get 1Amp at 3.3 Volts which equals 3.3W. The USB Controller of the card draws 350mA at 3.3 Volts. The remaining power is boosted to 5volts (minus some efficiency loss) leaving you with 350mA at 5 volts to all the USB ports. There are some USB devices that may require up to 500mA of power.'' (sic)
--------------------------------
Manufacturer supports MS Windows and OS X. SuSE works out of the box (reported), and FC1 works as described:
Booted without devices attached to the card, and FC1 did not detect presence. Attached a USB mass storage device, only to find that other separate modules began to `melt', such as mouse and keyboard control. (Look for blinking num lock and caps lock.) usb.c returns errors (-110?). Hard-power-off + fsck needed. Similar experiences described on Google.
N.B. that the card can not be removed without stopping the daemon, or keyboard support is killed.
On the plus side, the card was detected on reboot without any devices attached. My suggestion is to have something such as a USB mouse attached for the first boot. If successful, dmesg, after boot, will return the following :

I believe that there are three internal HUBs, two for USB 1.1, one for USB 2.0. If all goes well, attached devices can be accessed just as normal USB devices can (sda1).
--------------------------
My System:
Dell Inspiron 8200, BIOS Rev. A10
FC1 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl
1.4GHz Proc.
2 x 128 Standard RAM
Tested using FujiFilm FinePix 2650
Hope this helps,
George

There are two USB 1.1 ports built-into the laptop -- I am not sure what is what.

seems not to work on my distro and noone including the devs can tell me how to get it working altrough it is detected it doesn't recognize a mouse nor anything ...
i posted a thread about that in the PcLinuxOs Forums : http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2623.0
but noone figured out the trick to get it working
Pc Mcia is up and both yenta and all USB modules are loaded. I guess it might be an issue with the power suply
