The "ss_en" option of the ums_realtek driver seems to solve this for me as I described in post #3 at http://askubuntu.com/questions/132100/errors-in-dmesg-test-wp-failed-assume-write-enabled modinfo ums_realtek shows as options:
parm: auto_delink_en:enable auto delink (int) parm: ss_en:enable selective suspend (int) parm: ss_delay:seconds to delay before entering selective suspend (int) Empirical testing shows that ss_delay value is how often the error will appear in the console. Disabling the suspend with ss_en=0 still allows the reader to work but not suspend/wake every ss_delay amount of seconds. This fix is still working for me as of Raring Ringtail with 64bit kernel 3.8.0-1-generic #5-Ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925760 Title: Constant warnings from the kernel: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/925760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
