Bugzilla – Bug 114028
booting with mouse plugged in messes up usb and network
Last modified: 2005-08-30 08:51:17 UTC
Hi, when I boot with my mouse connected in the usb port, I cannot use the mouse, only the touchpad. The mouse does not even get power. lsusb yields this output : Duplicate product spec at line 2453 product 0846:4240 WG111 WiFi As a side effect eth0 is nog present when running ifconfig -a. I have no network. Just running YaST-> network devices -> next -> finish repairs this. None of these problems exist when booting without the mouse connected. Hardware : Dell D800 with Logitech USB optical mouse. I am novell staff so if you want you can log on to my laptop when I have the problem. Obviously I will have repaired the network then - but the usb problem will still persist and this is the root cause after all. Just send me a mail to jdebaer@novell.com PS during installation I noticed that by default the mouse was set to something like "no mouse regardless if one is plugged in". I thought this was strange - but I didn't change it because it was set to that by default.
Ok - now even when booting without the mouse connected the usb system does not come up. Could it have something to do with bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=112820 ?
yes *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 112820 ***
Now I reconfigured my mouse manually i.e. set it to USB optical mouse, rebooted, and now I have mouse and network. But that shouldn't be necessary. I see you marked it as a duplicate of 112820... Iguess it's likely that that is the underlying cause - don't understand our device model anymore, too much changes :-)
