oscam/CCcam debian 6 with smargo card reader, usb bulk write failed : ret = -7 s.

I had a server running fine with oscam/CCcam on debian 6. The power went out and when it got back up again
it was not working. Same setting, same everything. even the same usb id-numbers 002:004, 002:005 etc etc.

I had an image of the working server. Applied it but got the same error.

I reinstalled everything in the same manner as I did when I got the working setup but to no avail, I still got the same error.

The error I'm getting is:

Quote from Ten Below

Never owned a smargo myself but this has been reported to solve the usb bulk write error by others,

Code

wget remove brltty

Any errors try

Code

apt-get remove brltty

I read something about that, tried: "apt-get remove brltty" but no go. I'll try the other command when I get home.

I removed brltty and I still get the same error. I am running Debian 6 on VMware esxi. It worked perfect until I had a power out, now it doesn't work no matter what I do. New install, my backup copy of of the VM.

The smargo readers slowly blink green with no card in, but when I put a card in there is no light at all and I keep getting:

26/07/2013 00:20:39 937DB50 r canaldigital [smartreader] usb bulk write failed : ret = -7

maybe after 15min I get:

I would love any help. :still_dreaming:

I am sorry for bumping this thread. But I'm still trying to find a solution.
