Re: problem with USB ports

hi!

sorry to say, but all docs i found refer to do: a) install kernel sources, 
sometimes b) install newer kernel + sources but all say c) install latest 
ndiswraper. "error -71" apears quit often in the groups, seams to be 
something with power supply (???) - at least when the plugged unit is a disk 
drive or similar. i haven't seen something with a solution mentioning a wlan 
stich and error -7. but i've seen another - german - success storry with the 
same stick at http://www.unixboard.de/vb3/archive/index.php/t-25667.html - 
again, install kernel sources and latest ndiswrapper. 
maybe you can find some help there:
