Bug Description

USB BUS DEVICE UNSUPPORTED: 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology, Inc. card reader unsupported

Tested on:
Ubuntu 10.04 (devices listed in lsusb but does not function)
Ubuntu 10.10 (device may not show up in lsusb output)

Computer Models Affected:
Lenovo ThinkPad T61
Gateway: LT2104U
Acer Aspire One: 532, 532h, ao532h, ao533, d260, 901
eMachines: 350-21G16I
Packard Bell: Dot SE

Canonical advertises the Acer Aspire One as having "been awarded the status of Certified on Ubuntu PC (x86)." This could be misunderstood and thought that it applies to all models, not just the one Acer got certification.

Gary Peck (tylix) wrote : Re: SD card not detected on ACER Aspire One 532h

Walter/wayman: According to the email thread linked to earlier in this bug, the SD card reader is using a proprietary protocol that has not been previously reverse engineered. It's not using the usual SCSI-over-USB protocol. So the only way that it will be supported is if the OEM (Acer) provides a Linux driver, or someone with enough knowledge of USB storage drivers sits down, reverse engineers the proprietary protocol, and writes a driver for it.

Alexandre: For the microphone you should open a separate bug. The reason it's not working for you is most likely unrelated to the non-functioning SD card reader.

Please note that Stefan Bader wrote on 2010-09-28:

So there is nothing that we can do here really. Beside of maybe smacking Acer for using this hw. The problem here is that the USB device reports a vendor specific interface. Or in other words "we don't tell you". There is no information about the protocol or anything. So that is not "add support" but "create support" and thats out of the scope we can do.

Well, "technically speaking" we (as in Ubuntu) shouldn't fix it. A driver should be developed and pushed into mainline, THEN it can be included in Ubuntu kernels, either through backporting or new releases. I'm not saying that someone that works on Ubuntu kernels can't fix it, just the proper route it should take for release.

PFMJI, but I'd like to add that I too have this problem. The netbook in question is a Packard-Bell Dot SE. The "Packard-Bell" brand is now owned by Acer (found this via Google) and very often Packard-Bell netbooks are practically identical to an Acer Aspire Dxxx model. Just the brand sticker on the case is different. So this Packard-Bell Dot SE netbook also has this card reader device:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology, Inc.

So I can't get this to work with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Does anyone know if it works with Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) or are there any chances that it might be working with Ubuntu 11.04?

Regarding my earlier post #133, I have solved the problem and successfully built the deb containing the module on my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit kernel 2.6.35-27-generic.

The solution is to take Konstantin Katuev's advice in post #129 - use the source code from post #44

extract the contents of keucr.tgz after copying it to /usr/src, then rename the extracted directory from "keucr" to keucr-0.0.1

Then continue with the instructions from post #116 (executing step 5 before step 4) and everything should work ok.

After installing the deb package, I inserted an RS/MMC (MMC Mobile) card in the card slot and Ubuntu instantly recognised, mounted the card and opened a window containing the files on the card. Happy days !!:)

I've attached the deb file in case anyone wants to try it.

Hello guys. It works for me.

Here's the summary of what I did, thanx to everybody, and particularly
Konstantin and Vladimir :

1 : download the driver kindly provided by Konstantin Katuev HERE
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/530277/+attachment/1714152/+files/keucr.tgz>
2 : copy the file to /usr/src
3 : untar it
4 : rename the folder to keucr-0.0.1
5 : create the file /usr/src/keucr-0.0.1/dkms.conf, and insert this :
PACKAGE_NAME="keucr"
PACKAGE_VERSION="0.0.1"
CLEAN="rm -f *.*o"

BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="keucr"
MAKE[0]="make -C $kernel_source_dir
M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/extra"

AUTOINSTALL="yes"

6 : add the driver to dkms
dkms add -m keucr -v 0.0.1

7 : build the module
dkms build -m keucr -v 0.0.1

8 : install the module
dkms install -m keucr -v 0.0.1

9 : append the module to /etc/modules
echo "keucr" >> /etc/modules

As far as I tested on my Acer emachines em350, there is no need to
insert SDCard before power-on. It works like any USB key.

@Nicolas Rietsch:
I could post the deb sure, but it would only work for kernel 2.6.32-28.55, because thats the kernel I compiled it on. the driver claims to be somewhat "dynamic" and i'm sure theres a way to make it work on all kernels, but right now this is only a fix until support is officially included in the 11.04 release.

On that note, does anyone know how to make this driver work on more than one kernel? I don't want to rebuild for the RT kernel i run also, because im worried about the packages conflicting.

Even so, I do have quite a bit of time on my hands and I'd be happy to compile one for you, if you post or email me your kernel version.

As far as the driver is registered in DKMS, and knowing what happens with proprietary NVidia at kernel update, I believe that DKMS will take care of compiling new driver upon kernel update. I did not test though.
However, repeating steps 7 to 8 should be enough.

You can try with keucr driver for 10.04 and 10.10 too. Just try the next
steps:

1. Install build-essential (sudo apt-get install build-essential) on
terminal.

2. Down the keucr driver. The link is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/530277/+attachment/1714152/+files/keucr.tgz
Now, you have too options: install it on terminal or intall it with a
script. To install the keucr on terminal you must to write the next
commands:

3. Now change to the download directory and unpack: "tar zvxf keucr.tgz"

4. Now change to the unpacked folder: "cd keucr"

5. "make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules"
    "sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules_install"
     "sudo depmod -a"

At this time the keucr driver must be installed and working. Just restart
your pc and try it.

The another option is to install the driver with a scrip. The file contains
the last commands. I attachment it. Just write on terminal: "sh install.sh"
and done.

Good luck!!

What is your error? Are you executing the command as root?

1) I tried the @ ceaser way,i downloaded the keucr,and kept the install.sh script in the keucr folder and i executed it in the terminal as "sh.install",no errors seen in the terminal,nothing happened.My SD Card Reader is still not working.

2)i also tried the @joselaurian method also,executed it in the terminal,this time i got error in the terminal,it is showing kernel not supported.i am using the kernel 2.6.32-29-generic.and it is showing error every time i check for an update.so i removed the keucr file by using the remove command.

3)i also tried the @Vladimir method,but i am unable to do 4th and 5th step.I struck at steps.

I want to say,i am a newone to ubuntu,i am using ubuntu from one month,i request you to provide me a detail way(it will be very helpfull if any one can take sometime and provide screenshots,how to do).I can follow your steps,if you provide me an detailed way with commands how to do.

If you have compilation error : "implicit declaration of usb_alloc_coherent" on line 293 in usb.c

You can try to add this after the all the includes of usb.c (line 19) :

#define usb_alloc_coherent(a, b, c, d) usb_buffer_alloc(a, b, c, d)
#define usb_free_coherent(a, b, c, d) usb_buffer_free(a, b, c, d)

It worked like a charm for me. Did not even required to reboot, it worked immediately.

Thanks to all those who collectively worked on solving this problem. I used the recipe #149 and it worked faultlessly. I have an AAO D255 with 10.10 on it. It came with Win7 which could handle all its peripherals but the switch to Remix 9.x did for Skype, SD reader. I needed Wine to try and make some custom Win code work, which didn't, so I removed Wine again. This also took away metacity. I could still use the machine but finally made the effort today and with the help of the contributors to launchpad have a fully working system now: Title bars on windows, Sound on Skype and the ability to read SD cards. I might still have a problem with the wired ethernet - must check.

sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules_install

and I have my SD reader back until the next upgrade.

The other difference seems to be that on 10.10 I do not have a
sub-directory called modules under /etc . I have modules.d but no
mention of acpiphp. All the aciphp files on my system are to be found
in /lib/modules/......./kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug.

I am quite happy to have to apply a patch like this as it is a small
price for the stability and reliability of Linux compared to the other
MS options.

The last update lost me the link again between the sound drivers and
apps like sound recorder and Skype. I can't remember how I got it back
last time. The system test runs all paths successfully i.e. internal &
external mic, internal speakers & headphones so the hardware is good.
The level meter also works but no mike input gets to the top level app.
Playback is fine. I have reported it but been too busy to chase it just
now.

Thanks again

Nigel.

I have an Acer NAV50 532h netbook running Ubuntu 12.10, which previously did not recognize my card reader. After following the instructions in #149 my card reader is working perfectly. Here is my output of lsusb now that the card reader is working:

I did get a few errors when I ran "make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules" but it doesn't seem to have affected anything. Props to joselaurian, this problem had been bugging the crap out of me!

Hello!

I'm facing the same compiling problems as #169 !

I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 on emachines e350 and the keucr module won't compile.
In fact there seems to be some #defines missing, more precisely

#define US_PR_BULK 0x50
#define US_SC_SCSI 0x06
#define US_PR_CBI 0x00
#define US_SC_CYP_ATACB 0xf1
#define US_PR_CB 0x01
#define US_SC_UFI 0x04
#define US_PR_DPCM_USB 0xf0
#define US_SC_RBC 0x01

In previous kernels they were located in usb_usual.h but now there's no trace of them.
In any case, I bet that adding simply the defines won't be a proper solution (in fact it doesn't seem to work) and the drives should somehow be rewritten in some parts..

What I can say is that I had the same problem when I was running Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 but at that time I solved it by upgrading the kernel to 2.38 without installing any extra module ..

I hope this problem will be solved soon!
Thanks and best regards!

Hi,
Sorry I have no new info. I tend to stay with
stable systems and my notebook is still on Ubuntu
10.10. Now that they have stopped updating the
kernel I don't even have to rerun the keucr stuff
anymore. I use the algorithm "if it ain't bust don't try and fix it"
Best of luck.
Nigel.

Hallo all,
this bug affects also ubuntu 14.04 - namely ubuntu mate 14.04 64 bit.
The solution already proposed (see below) works perfectly on Aspire One 523h.
Thanks

---------------------------------------------------------------
The link is here
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/530277/+attachment/1714152/+files/keucr.tgz>
. Afater download unpack it, make and install it.

Before make sure you have the compiler installed:

*sudo apt-get install build-essential* - this will install what you need
to compile the driver.

now change to the download directory and unpack:*
tar zvxf keucr.tgz*

Now change to the unpacked folder:*
cd keucr*

And now make the following steps as root inside the "keucr" folder or path:

    * *make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules*
    * *sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd`
      modules_install*
    * *sudo depmod -a*

Now your module should work. It worked for me in Acer Aspire One 532h...

Hope it help you.

Greetings,

*Alexandre Martins*
