Infinity USB Smart on WNR3500L

Hi,

 

I just want to ask if this card reader will work on the USB port without needing a special driver?

 

In VCP-Beta 26 it supports Dreambox:

[quote]Modules specific for Linux servers:
Smart VCP BetaID=25
Smart VCP BetaID=25CC

Module specific for DreamBox and other STB's:
Smart VCP BetaID=26[/quote]

Will it also be mounted at /mnt?

Ok,

Ok,

 

I just tested the reader and it is not found:

BusyBox v1.13.4 (2010-04-23 03:15:38 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

root@HomeServer:~# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/disc on /mnt type vfat (rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437
,iocharset=iso8859-1)
root@HomeServer:~#

 

It is the reader and a USB flash drive connected but only the flash get listed. If I connect two flash drives there are also listed.

 

Any help how to get this reader up and running?

Got it now running:

Got it now running:

disabled USB 2.0 support and added this for startup:
insmod usbserial.o
insmod ftdi_sio.o

The Reader is working now!

May there is a solution to use the reader also when USB 2.0 is enabled?

The error:
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: ftdi_tiocmget Could not get modem status of device - err: -32

How do you access the card

How do you access the card reader once it's working?

After I do the insmod's the following is displayed through dmesg:

usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver

But I was expecting a new device like /dev/ttyUSB0 or something...

This is what I get when

This is what I get when plugging the card reader into my Ubuntu-box:

... how could I get access to the cardreader on the WNR3500L?

The problem was that I never

The problem was that I never got any device at all...

When I flashed the reader from Windows with the "module" from their webpage it all made sense... The device showed up and all is working very well now!
- Thanks!
