Thread: Reset USB Device

hi.
got self usb wireless network adaptor. device netgear n-300 (wna3100) broadcom chip. wireless devices, has windows drivers , needs run via ndiswrapper. unlike of devices have had, quite good, still have 1 problem.

device aparently has 3 states. on/off , sort of standby (half on , half off). when turn on computer, device off. if remove device , plug in, get's in standby state. however, not turn on. way turn on re-install driver using ndisgtk. using ndiswrapper in console not work.

seams ndisgtk kind of action after installing driver wakes device. ndiswrapper not , neither dbus.

have included dmesg of actions taken boot , until device , running.

code:

my question this. don't know if dbus, ndiswrapper or whatever should when device plugged-in or computer booting. ndisgtk ndiswrapper not wake device? , how can dbus whenever device plugged-in?

he he, embarrassing. ndiswrapper module not set loaded during boot. thats ndisgtk did when installed driver

should have been first should have thought of.
