Please help... USB HDD doesn't work
Hi there,
I've bought a HDD drive and an external HD USB2 box (Spire). It works perfectly under both Win XP and Knoppix but it doesn't work when I connect it to my WL500Gx.
When I reboot the WL with the disc connected, the LOG looks like this:

If I dosconnect the drive and connect it again, following lines appear in yhe log:
Jan 2 18:03:48 login[126]: root login on `pts/0'

Jan 2 18:04:41 kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-71)
There is one big 250GB FAT32 (formatted in Knoppix) partition.
I've tried it with both Oleg and Asus firmwares (latest ones). Nothing. I'm even not able to make FTP in the Asus firmware working. Am I doing something wrong? Or the HD box is simply incompatible with WL? How come that it is compatible with Knoppix? Are there older drivers in the WL firmwares?
Any other ideas?
Thanx a lot
