Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It seems that ADMtek ADM8515 chips report broken USB IDs under certain
conditions. When I plug my usb-ethernet adaptor before the computer is
powered on, it often reports a broken ID; at which point unplugging/replugging
would solve it.
I reproduced this on two different computers, although a third test on my
laptop didn't reveal the same problem.
In all my tests, it reported either ID fe4c:4784 or fe4c:4704; adding these
IDs to the list is working for me.
Attached patch was sent upstream already. The maintainer of the pegasus
driver seems to be ok with it (I expect it'll be merged with 2.6.25).
