[Voyage-linux] Most stable Voyage kernel for USB?

[Mark Pendrith]

I'm using Voyage (kernel-image-2.6.14-486-voyage_2.0-6_i386.deb) on a 
WRAP.1E and also on a Soekris net4801 box. I'm having the same problem 
with USB on both boxes.

I've got four identical USB devices that all work well from my PC 
running a version of RedHat linux, but all exhibit the same problem on 
both boxes running Voyage. The problem is that my program controlling 
the USB device will timeout waiting for a confirmation signal returning 
from the device. The device performs the function OK, it's just that the 
confirmation gets lost, which leaves the USB device in a hung state; I 
need to reinitialise the USB port to reset things.

After I reinitialise things, I can then send another command to the USB 
device, after which it will need resetting again.

Because the behaviour is identical on two different platforms running 
the same kernel, I;m concentrating my investigations there. I've also 
eliminated the possibility of the device being faulty, as I have four of 
them, which all work perfectly under RedHat, but all misbehave in 
exactly the same way under Voyage.

Does this ring a bell for anyone else using USB under Voyage? Are some 
kernels known to have better stability for USB? Or is everyone else 
using USB devices without issues?

Any comments/insights appreciated.
