 Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2004 8:19 pm Post subject: usb 1.0 or 1.1 |
 |
|
is there a way to check if a computer has usb 1.0 or 1.1? i installed gentoo on an old ibm aptiva (pentium 200) and i'd like to figure out if a usb wifi adapter meant for usb 1.1 will work (its the dwl-122 that has been shown to be linux compatible in another thread) before i buy it.
thanks,
aaron |

try this.
This should give you an idea of what kind of usb controllers are in that system.

drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver hub
|

Line D. does look promising, however you won't really know until you plug something in  Give it a try and see what happens. Good Luck. BTW I wonder why your dmesg didn't display more info. Here is mine.
| Code: | dmesg | grep usb
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver usbfs
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using address 3
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0005
