USB 2.0 Hub with my Linksys NSLU2

The NSLU2 is awesome, but I won't get into that right now. This post is about the USB 2.0 hub I bought at LEDSHOPPE, aka CCNOW.

USB 2.0 4 ports hub (CA4007)

The price was right, only $5 including shipping.

So I plugged it into my NSLU2 running debian and this is what I get in dmesg:

I installed usbutils, and that doesn't help any. I'm trying to reboot now.

That didn't help so now I'm upgrading everything on the NSLU2. Hopefully that will help.


While I waited, I found some good resources:
