Hi,

I have a USB peripheral controller PCI card that I have put in PCI slot of motherboard and ubuntu linux is not detecting this hardware. How can we manually add the hardware in linux? Can somebody explain in detail?

What chipset is used by the controller? (Hint: what is the output of lspci?) From there you can figure out what module needs to be loaded with a little googling around. You may have to compile the module yourself, or maybe it's included in a newer kernel. What version of Ubuntu are you using and what is your kernel (uname -a output)?

Why do you think that ?
In addition to pljvaldez's Qs, what is the output of lsusb ?

Hi,

I am using STEricsson ISP1761 USB PCI device controller card. I tried with lspci earlier, it did not show new card thats why i told ubuntu linux is not detecting the hardware. I also
inserted the card in PCI slot and rebooted the linux but it is hanging so it is not detecting this card. When i pull out this card and reboot the linux, it is working.
Also i inspected the driver that pci driver is not probing the detection of new card to USB PCI peripheral controller device driver.

So thats why the question is if linux does not detect the hardware, how can we add it manually? i am using UBUNTU version 9.04. Your help will be appreciated.

This:

says alot. So when you put the card in, your system hangs and doesn't work, but when you remove it, everything is fine? Are you sure the card itself isn't bad, or has been damaged somehow? That would certainly explain the lack of lspci output....

What kind of machine is this? I saw here that the 1761 chip was added for ARM architecture in 2.6.30. Not sure if that means it was already supported on other architectures or not.

What kernel are you running?

Also, it appears Phillips has released their drivers here.

Hi,

I am running ubuntu 9.04 and kernel version is 2.6.28.9, i also tried on kernel version 2.6.27.18. There it also does not detect. I
had three PCI cards with me (ISP1761). I checked that may be this hardware is not corrupted but it did not work on any of the card.

But these cards work on Red hat linux 2.6.21 version that i have installed in other computer so thats why this hardware is correct. I am
working on X86 architecture (on PC)

When i put the card in PCI slot, it does not mean system hangs i am saying if i put the card in pci slot and if i reboot linux, linux starts booting
and during booting it hangs. But if i put the card in PCI slot after the kernel is booted means after entering username and password and desktop is launched,
this time system does not hang but if i do lspci, i am not getting this card.

The another important thing is when i installed Ubuntu 8.04 version means kernel version 2.6.27.7 from CD, it detects the hardware but when i took the
kernel source code from ubuntu according to procedure as ubunu as in this link:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56835

I am getting the kernel sources 2.6.27.18 and when i compile this kernel and install it, then it does not detect this card. Also when i installed ubuntu 9.04 from CD,
it does not detect this PCI hardware.

So thats why i asked what should i do inorder to get this hardware detected. Yes i have the ISP1761 driver source code which is compiled as module but the problem
is PCI driver is not probing to ISP1761 driver when this card is put in PCI slot.

So what should i do to get my hardware detected? Do i also need to change some bios settings of PC?
