Re: IRQ not detected for a USB PCI card in a beige G3



Hi, Sylvain.

I'm also on the same boat, but I had a lengthy discussion and debugging
session with Ivo van Doorn, the maintainer of rt2x00, to get my wifi
stick working and, to cut a long story short, the driver stopped working
on 2.6.26 on (at least) amd64, but he told me that he found the problem
and fixed it on 2.6.27 (and I confirmed this on amd64, at least).

He said that he doesn't intend to backport the changes to 2.6.26.

Are you able to use rt2x00 without problems on Debian's 2.6.26?

* I think that communicating this to the kernel team would be a good
  thing.

* The other thing that you can do is try to compile one of the
  release candidates of 2.6.27 (or 2.6.27 proper, if it has already been
  released).

I have a two port USB 2.0 card with a VIA chipset here that I will try
on my old PowerMac 8500 180/MP to see if I am able to use it. What are
the problems that you found with EHCI, BTW?
