I have one of Kingston's DataTraveller Micro Reader USB sticks, a fantastic memory stick with an integrated micro SD and M2 card reader. However, I've gradually filled it to the brim and am looking for a larger stick. Unfortunately, Kingston don't make them any bigger than the 4GB one that I currently have and I was hoping to go to 16GB now that…
I'm trying to configure caller id on a USB modem connected to a Windows 7 x32 machine. Hyperterminal isn't available so I downloaded the latest version of Putty and am using the Serial option. I'm using the modem's COM port details from Device Manager (COM5, 115200 baud), but when I open the putty session it just hangs with the cursor at the top…
I have a Motorola phone, with a MicroSD slot, which my Ubuntu machine does not recognize as a USB drive.
It does know there is something there since
It automatically charges my phone whenever I connect it.
using the command lsusb shows it as "Motorola PCS"
Is there a way to tell Ubuntu/Linux that the connected hardware is a disk drive?
Every time I connect my Pen drive it recognizes as more like a Dongle. The reason that I'm telling that
if I connect it to the PC when I'm on the INTERNET, it will
automatically copy all the files which are in the Dongle.
So, I can't recognize which one is the Pen drive when I want to safely remove the device. I'm not sure whether it is…

I am trying to get a list of currently plugged in USB devices in Ubuntu 10.10 and monitor changes that happen, like devices being plugged in or out using udev and D-Bus.
I'm fairly new to programming using D-Bus. I saw one example: "Linux: How to detect is usb keyboard is plugged and unplugged". Problem is that it uses HAL and I know that HAL…
Hi all,
Is it possible to simulate a USB drive with software only? I mean, for example, to expose a local memory space to the OS so the device manager will recognize it as a USB device.
I'm not familiar with hardware implementation, but I'm sure that it is possible somehow to emulate the USB protocol.
I began with this book - USB Design By…
I ordered 3 microUSB cables over ebay. My phone was at about 50% battery and I wanted to use it as a hot spot for some browsing on my laptop, so I plugged it in, a charging icon appeared on the phone, my laptop showed it as a connected usb device and so I went about my business.
About 30 minutes later I checked the phone and to my dismay…
I have a USB webcam, and I'm wondering if theres a box that will let me plug the webcam in and access it over wifi like this: http://www.belkin.com/networkusbhub/ except wireless.
The usb port in the back of my laptop (on the right side when viewed from using perspective) is not working.
Does anybody know if we can get this port working, and what the port number is.
Here is my lsusb, if it can help.

I was recently hired at a small repair shop. I work indoors while my boss does on site calls for small businesses. I have to troubleshoot and fix laptop screens a few times a week and this is why I'm posting this question.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to stream line the troubleshooting process. For example, how do I determine…

I heard about Ubuntu from a friend and wanted to test it out. I made a Pendrive Ubuntu 12.04 with a persistent file using Universal USB Installer.
The first time I booted Ubuntu from the USB everything went like usual. I was just a bit exploring Ubuntu and had installed a few apps nothing more.
Today after using Windows 7 for…
I installed a "All-in-one USB Card Reader" to read SD cards and other media.
It has caused six new drives to appear in Disk Management with six new drive letter assignments. These drives and letters are always present, even when there are no cards in the reader. When unused, they are labeled "No Media".
Why does this…

I've bought a new optical drive. It's a Samsung SH-S223C with SATA connection. Since it is OEM with no box, no cable came with it, so I need two cables now. Since I have an extra SATA power cable, it's OK, but I have to buy the data cable. What type of cable should I buy? If you please give a picture of it besides…
currently I have a 10Mbps DSL line and I'm thinking to switch to a cable since they got 100Mbps for a little less than double the price I'm paying for 10Mbps.
In other words the cable company is offering 100Mbps for the price of 20Mbps DSL.
Since 10Mbps is more than enough for me I am worried about the latency,…
