in 4.0.2 doesn't work usb2

[lonster]

I just downloaded the latest version of Knoppix to play around with and discovered the problem with USB( I too, have a Asus A7N266-VM). A bit of searching brought me to this thread.

So what's the solution to something like this? I mean, I can boot with the nousb cheatcode, then use the modprobe command, but I'd have to do that every time I boot, no? Would I have do a remaster with the kernel patch? I have no experience with remastering or kernel patching for that matter. Wait for the next release of Knoppix? Buy a new motherboard?

This is my opinion only, I'm not a Knoppix guru:

I think your options are:

1. Fixing it yourself: While the USB 2 problem is not too difficult to fix (see earlier posting), I think the USB 1.1 fix (for Asus A7N) i.e. kernel rebuild and remaster is not worth the effort.

2. Go back to a Knoppix 3.x version, which worked fine. Wait for next release of Knoppix.

3. Unplug the memory chip reader, or whatever USB device is causing the problem. This is not a good solution if the device is internal to your computer. You could use an external chip reader and plug it in when you need it.

4. Change to Kubuntu, while waiting for the next release of Knoppix. I found that everything I need works in Ubuntu/Kubuntu (for the Asus A7N266 motherboard).
