no WiFi Adapter after fresh installation. usbcore.autosuspend=-1 fixes it:

Since todays update to kernel 6.6 on my odroid c2, usb was broken.

lsusb shows that no devices are found anymore using the new kernel:

dmesg shows the following error during boot:

 

[    5.777103] onboard-usb-hub 1-1: can't set config #1, error -71

 

Adding the "extraboardargs" option to /boot/armbianEnv.txt as described above, solved the problem for me.

I have a rather janky fix for this issue. Basically, we reset all USB devices on the bus after boot. I created a systemd service file with the following contents:

 

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/usb-reset.service 
[Unit]
Description=Reset USB devices before SDDM
Before=sddm.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/root/usbreset.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

And the script is this:

 

$ cat ~/usbreset.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Resets USB devices in a specified path.
# Use with caution, as this may reset devices currently in use. 

base_path="/sys/bus/usb/devices/"

# Function to reset a single USB device
reset_usb_device() {
    dev_path="$1"   
    echo "Resetting device at '$dev_path' ..."
    echo 0 | sudo tee "$dev_path/authorized" > /dev/null  # Deactivate
    sleep 1  # Short delay
    echo 1 | sudo tee "$dev_path/authorized" > /dev/null  # Reactivate
}

# Find USB devices
echo "Looking for USB devices in '$base_path'..."
for dev_path in "$base_path"/*
do
    reset_usb_device "$dev_path"
done

echo "Done."

 

Enable and start this service and your USB devices will be re-initialized after boot.

 

I've also verified that adding the "extraboardargs" as in the first post works for me as well.

On my Gentoo setup, I never had any USB issues before 6.6, even without the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 option. With 6.6, though, USB doesn’t work for me even with that option enabled. The fix from all2 worked for me, so thanks to that I put together what I think is a slightly more robust solution:
