Howto use the AVM Fritz!Card USB v2.x with linux kernel 2.6.7 (deutsch)
It is not possible to use the AVM driver (fcusb2-suse9.1-3.11-04.tar.gz) with the linux kernel 2.6.7. The reasons are two problems with the linux usb system:
- The function "usb_interface_claimed()" always returns "true" (1). In case the driver never loads.
- The "fcusb2.ko" driver tries to get two interfaces:
...
usb_driver_claim_interface (&usb_driver, pdc->if1, pdc);
usb_driver_claim_interface (&usb_driver, pdc->if2, pdc);
...
The second interface "pdc->if2" of my box (v2.0), ever returns NULL. This causes a kernel oops.
