[ale] Linux 3.0.0 USB issues
Chris Fowler
down to 11.04 LTS. I've been experiencing USB enumeration issues for
EHCI. Normally not a problem, but I need my flash drives and disks to
run at the fastest speed possible. I've googled this and it seems as if
this is an issue in 3.0. As anyone else found a workaround?

Simply upgrade your kernel to 3.1 or 3.2 if you are having issues with 3.0.
Even though you are running a binary distribution, unless you _rely_ on
something in the kernel binary that the distribution provides, you can
easily compile your own vanilla kernel on an Ubuntu system. I used to
do it all the time, before I started using Gentoo, because of various
deficiencies in the Ubuntu kernel.
Seriously, that's the workaround.
If you need features from their custom kernel, check out their git
source trees, which bring the kernel up-to-date with the Ubuntu set of
patches in their own lands.

Also, instead of downgrading (to 10.04, I think you meant, which was the
last LTS) there is a new LTS coming out in a few weeks.

Right after taxes :P
The compile is an easy option for me. I was not sure if 3.1 had
addressed any of these issues. Almost none of my storage based devices
can enumerate on EHCI.
I debated it may be a controller problem with 3.0 and I can pick up a
PCIe USB 3.0 card on eBay for real cheap. It supports 2.0 and that card
could be used only for storage devices.

I haven't used xHCI support heavily yet, so I cannot say whether it
works at all. I do not have an extension cord for my lone USB 3 port,
and I also have no USB 3 devices as of yet.

I have no 3.0 devices either. My idea is that new tech might be better
supported in 3.0.
