I've been playing with an Intel Compute Stick which has just one USB port. I've attached a cheap USB-hub to add another 3 ports - one for a USB harddrive, one for the wireless keyboard+mouse and one for a wifi dongle. I tried building a kernel (/usr/src/linux on the usb harddrive) with make -j4, but this led almost immediately to a crash/disconnect/io-errors, so I scaled back to make -j1.
I was wondering if I should be worried about the technnical quality of the USB hub?
Absolutely. Make sure the hub you are using supplies its own power or you will have problems with any device that needs more then a little power. -- Ken linux since 1994 S.u.S.E./openSUSE since 1996 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
