All,
This might be a project for someone to add kernel support for a low cost piece of equipment ($20 at my local store).
== I just bought a kingwin USI-2535U3 (USB3 to Sata adapter) and it is not showing up on my opensuse 12.2 system at all. I've got a 3.4.11 kernel on it.
This is the adapter: http://www.ramplus.com/uskiusb30tos.html
dmesg isn't even showing any output at all when I plug it in. lsusb is also not showing anything different with it connected vs. not connected.
There is a blue light on the unit showing it is getting power.
It doesn't claim linux support, but I'm finding it hard to believe that. How can I troubleshoot this to see what's going on.
fyi: i actually bought 2 of these, but I have only opened one in case I need to return them for a refund. I don't have a handy way to test it with windows, so I'd prefer to test just with linux.
Thanks Greg
Actually I'm having 2 separate problems: 1) I have a USB3 port on my laptop that has worked in the past, but is now not seeing anything from opensuse with a 3.4 kernel. 2) I have another USB3 port on the same laptop that is working. With it I at least get some dmesg output when I connect the kingwin: [236458.796086] xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: ERROR: unexpected command completion code 0x0.

I have never worked with the usb subsystem. I would really like to get this device to work because of its size. ie. it is very small and portable. Any trouble shooting of kernel updating advice appreciated. Thanks Greg
