I'm trying to use an active USB 2.0 extension cable and it doesn't seem<br>
to be recognized properly. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty ( unfotunately the<br>
modules are compiled into kernel or I'd try removing uhci_hcd) Below is<br>
dmesg output:<br>
<br>
usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9<br>
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2<br>
usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3<br>
usb 6-2: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub<br>
usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice<br>
hub 6-2:1.0: USB hub found<br>
hub 6-2:1.0: 4 ports detected<br>
<br>
At first it is recognized as USB 2.0 device ie ehci_hcd driver but<br>
ultimately becomes uhci_hcd device. It is this device<br>

Maybe it is just a lousy device. Problem is I can't get a USB 2.0 web<br>
camera to work properly with it. Can anyone recommend an an active USB<br>
2.0 extension that works with Linux . Eventually I need about 30 feet so<br>
was hoping to use two of these. The literature says you can string up to<br>
5 together. I know my USB bus is ok since USB 2.0 hubs work ok and the<br>
camera works ok when directly plugged into my computer. Any suggestions?<br>
Eventually I will be hooking up 4 cameras.<br>
Thanks,<br>

I was going to suggest just plugging the camera into an ASUS router that supports dd-wrt but since you want 4 eventually it would be cheaper just to buy wireless cameras as I assume you don't want the cameras all in the same place.<br>
<br>Here's an example. You can control the camera through a browser.<br><br><a href="http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=342">http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=342</a> <br></div></div><br>-- <br>Mark Lane <<a href="mailto:lmlane-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org">lmlane-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org</a>><br>
