[Bug 1446798] Re: ExpressCard type USB3.0 adapter does not function properly

 

~jsalisbury , I need your input  before I proceed sending bug report to
kernel. Once I started reporting the bug I noticed, that on the new
kernel the problem is even worse: the expressCard is recognized (I see
output in dmesg), but once I attach the external drive to it nothing is
reported in dmesg, it is not reported in lsusb, etc.

So, I would say, either the problem is different using the upstream
kernel (regression got even worse), or the upstream kernel is not
"compatible" with Ubuntu  Vivid enough to see the problem the same way
(now, otherwise the system seems to be behaving just fine, everything is
working with the new kernel...)

What do you think?

Title:
  ExpressCard type USB3.0 adapter does not function properly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ExpressCard type USB3.0 adapter for laptop does not function properly
  with the current kernel of Vivid: drives attached to it do not get
  reported by the system as attached and cannot get mounted.

  The expressCard adapter does work on a 14.04 install on another
  hardware (32 bit), giving 3x read spead from an external USB 3.0
  drive. The expressCard socket also works on this particular computer -
  tested with expressCard 3G modem.

  The adapter in question: 2 Port USB3.0 expressCard, UNEC UPD720202 Chip
   see here for description http://www.amazon.co.uk/SuperSpeed-compatible-transfer-Notebook-internal/dp/B00K49TNUU

  Upon inserting the adapter dmesg displays this information:

  dmesg upon inserting usb3.0 external hard drive (ADATA) into one of
  the ports of ExpressCard adapter:

  [ 9176.313022] usb 4-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
  [ 9176.334581] usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=125f, idProduct=a13a

  [ 9176.336972] scsi host9: usb-storage 4-2:1.0

  BUT the drive does not appear as an attached device.

  If I boot the computer with the expresscard inserted and the external
  drive attached, I do get to see it in the new device notifier, but I
  still cannot mount it.

  Besides, trying to use the adapter results in the computer being
  unable to suspend (the screen blackens out, but the machine does not
  go to sleep) and problems shutting it down.

  I would gladly provide any required information and do more tests if
  needed, just tell me what to do.
