I found this info at http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47971.h... that describes it exactly.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 ------- Comment #2 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2006-11-13 04:09 MST ------- I just decided to test to be sure. I "make cloneconfig" in the kernel source, then applied the patch, "make modules" to build the module, then renamed the original usb-storage.ko to usb-storage.ko.orig, copied the new usb-storage.ko file from kernel source tree, ran depmod -a, then modprobe -r usb-storage, then modprobe usb-storage, tried a sd card, and it worked perfectly again. So, for sure this patch works to fix my card reader. Hope the final release is fixed so I don't need to do this then. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 ------- Comment #3 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2006-12-02 01:43 MST ------- Running RC1 plus with joe@jmorris:~> uname -a Linux jmorris 2.6.18.2-33-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and it is close to release and it still has not been fixed. I'm sure Greg is busy, but it would be nice not to have to rebuild the usb-storage module every kernel. I did submit a patch that definitely works, at least in my case. Just thought I would "ping" once more to try to get this fix into the kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 ------- Comment #4 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2006-12-02 01:47 MST ------- BTW, this has been changed slightly but approved for 2.6.19, i.e from the changelog: commit 51b5bce8c253b82d4789161cc3b0c74bee313bb1 Author: Phil Dibowitz <phil@ipom.com> Date: Thu Nov 2 23:14:10 2006 -0800 USB: Fix UCR-61S2B unusual_dev entry Recently this entry's bcd scope was narrowed so as not to falsly apply to bcd's other than 0x0110. But while it breaks those of a larger bcd, it is still needed for those of a smaller bcd - so this changes the lower bcd limit to 0x0000.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 ------- Comment #5 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2006-12-02 02:08 MST ------- Created an attachment (id=107984) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=107984&action=view) patch to change only the lower bcd to 0x0000 IIUC this patch is already in the mainstream, as the present unusual_dev.h entry breaks my particular formerly working card reader. I changed the proposed patch to what I understood the new entry will be.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 ------- Comment #6 from joe_morris@ntm.org 2006-12-02 02:14 MST ------- BTW, I patched my kernel sources with the new patch to make sure it works, built the kernel modules, copied the new usb-storage.ko file, ran depmod -a, modprobe usb-storage, and my card reader works again. I know it is late in the game now, don't know why this bug is taking so long to do something with. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
