Subject: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Problem with Belkin USB 2.0
Notebook Card in Toshiba 4000CDS.
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I have a Belkin USB 2.0 Notebook Card, part F5U222v1, 
in a Toshiba 4000CDS laptop.  

An Altec-Lansing USB headset plugged into the 
Notebook Card, is not recognized by alsa.  When 
connected to the built-in USB port, the headset 
is recognized automatically.

If the Belkin USB Ethernet adapter is plugged into 
the Notebook Card, FTP does not work properly.  
If the USB Ethernet adapter is plugged into the 
built-in USB port, communication is normal.

This appears to be a problem with a PCMCIA,  
Cardbus or USB driver.  If you want more specific 
information, just let me know.

My apologies if this report is not submitted 
correctly.  If there is a better package to target, 
please let me know.

Thanks,         ... Peter Easthope

Good.

I don't think so.  Most systems have some power monitoring on the
motherboard, but this will not cover any additional power regulation and
conversion in an expansion card.  Also there is no general reliable way
to tell which devices depend on which power supplies.
