Asus DRW-1604P
 

Hello folks,

Anybody has tried to make an ASUS DRW-1604 work on Linux?
(FC2 2.6.6-1.435 and/or 2.6.10-1.771_FC2)

We just bought an external drive connected via USB to the computer.
As soon as I plug the drive the systems seems to identify it from time
to time...not as a DVD writer but as a CDRom drive.

This is what you get on the /var/log/messages file as soon as you try
to connect the drive:

kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 21
kernel: usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0in

udev[9810]: creating device node '/udev/sr0'
udev[9812]: creating device node '/udev/sg0'

I have the latest versions of cdrecord cdrtools k3b and dvd+rw-tools available for
FC2.

thx in adavance!
