USBHID device Not Loaded for B01 Pogoplug

[mteel]

I just installed Arch Linux ARM yesterday and after spending 4 hours trying to resolve the missing /bin/hostname issue (apparently fixed with an update this morning), I not only have the udev/syslog CPU problem, but the USBHID driver is not being loaded when I plug in a HID device:

[root@pogoplug /]# usb-devices

(It is the last entry).

It identifies it as class HID, but when inserted:

Jun 11 10:42:25 pogoplug kernel: [ 244.270000] usb 1-1.3: new low speed USB device using oxnas-ehci and address 4

Jun 11 10:42:25 pogoplug kernel: [ 244.380000] usb 1-1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

It doesn't recognize it as a HID device or load the USBHID driver.

Any suggestions? Is it related to the udev problem (which appears to be an incompatibility with the current oxnas kernel)?

What HID device are you trying to plugin? model and manufacturer would be useful.

[mteel]

"P: Vendor=1130 ProdID=6801 Rev=03.02"

It shouldn't make any difference, HID is HID and doesn't vary by manufacturer. It is a Honeywell TE923 weather station.

Guys...

Kernel module issue? You'll have to forgive me, I wasn't expecting people to be plugging in keyboards. etc.

[mteel]

A weather station is not a keyboard - HID devices are not just mice and keyboards.

[WarheadsSE]

Alright,

Either way, I hadn't expected HID to be used, in any fashion.

You have my utmost apologies.

Forgive me while I enable my G.A.S. for sarcasm.

Feel free to figure out why kexec wont properly lauch a kernel, uImage or zImage, in the mean time I'll make sure I take time away from my work and fiance, to get you a kernel module that I didn't consider critical in a NAND environment that is extremely tight.

HID, just like mass storage and serial, are standard USB modules. I am surprised that is not known by anyone building kernels for mass consumption. HID is available for NSLU2 (debian of course) and sheevaplug (debian). I think it will fit...

I meant no harm, but know that many of us are busy and have 4 kids and a wife and a full time job, and support several open source projects, etc.
