N66U 3.0.0.4.374.39_0 - USB hubs/cardreaders still do not work

[amigohd]

As with the 3.0.0.4.374.38' versions my usb card readers connected to an usb hub do not work. If I go back to RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4 it works without any modifications.

my argolis smargo smartreader are recognized as modems?
still the new builds, as the .38 previous do have some failures. 3.0.0.4_374.35_4 do recognize my cardreaders properly.

this is the correct output on 3.0.0.4_374.35_4 of dmesg.

dmesg:

and all this is missing in .38 and .39 builds. I guess some core usb modifications on the kernel.

Nobody using usb hubs? Nobody having problems?

The two hard disks I tested with my old USB hub worked fine.

Results will vary depending on the HUB used and which devices you connect to it most likely.

Make sure it's a powered hub. A self-powered one might not provide enough power to work reliably.

well, the hub is powered. it does work anywhere else. and it does work with previous builds I mentioned. So there has to be a big change in the kernel code since the .38 release as with the .35_4 it still works like a charm.
