[K12OSN] USB hub not working on VXL thinclients ( TC4331 )

["Meelis" <meelis nlib ee>]

As I can see nobody could help me solve this problem. Just like nobody 
shared no ideas how to enable martcard
support that was an issue about ... ummm ... 3 months ago and still not 
solved. (No mail was returned at that time aswell!)

It would be nice if someone at least writes an answer "I do not know" so I 
would know this list is still active and my mail goes through. To get no 
answer at all is silly and frustrating.

--------------------------------------

And update to the problem :

USB hub is still not working. I got so far that installed FC6 on the 
testserver with several updates to the packages. Kernel files including. I 
suspect that client is loading an old kernel (2.6.17.xx or something) but 
new kernel seems to be 2.6.2x.xx. I used ltspadmin utility to update but as 
I boot up the client ... it still shows that old kernel is loaded. So I 
switched pxelinux.0 and vmlinuz.ltsp files and their links to new ones (4.2) 
but still nothing. Client gets old kernel.

Next I managed to get kernel panic message with the text like "modules.dep 
not found in this location <location>" but there is a modules.dep in that 
location and it is set with read/write/what ever permissions. I tryed some 
copy/paste solutions so it's OK for me to get the panic message.

Now I got to a point where I started to suspect maybe it's thinclient 
firmware problem. Navigated to their webpage, downloaded the manual and 
firmware releace notes (april 2007)  and found out that there really is a 
problem like mine. The problem was old kernel that is updated to newer 
version with this update(logical as edubuntu server recognizes the usb hub). 
As I'm not using thinclient software to boot there is no use for this 
firmware update. This so called update is software based firmware update 
that updates preinstalled linux.

Could someone please help me and write if there is somekind of manual for 
updateing ltsp kernel files that are sent to clients in order to make the 
USB hub work?

Using FC6 downloaded from K12LTSP page with LTSP version 4.2 (at least I 
think it is using this version as it was updated with ltspadmin utility)
