The DNS does not come with a driver.  If you load the kernel module it works fine.

Here is my USB stick.

Please no discussions whether this is a good or bad thing. It is a simple hack as fun_plug is.

I have a 2TB Lacie Bigger Disk connected to my DNS-323 running fun-plug 0.3.

I put in in the etch directory so it can be used when i chroot.

havent been able to get that working from boot yet tho

but the disk works.

I'm getting exactly this problem with a Wester Digital "Elements" 512GB USB drive on my DNS-323 (FW V1.03). I have tried this with Fonz Funplug V0.3 and V0.4, both directly connected and through a powered USB hub - Nothing worked, I get the same error every time.

I will attempt to dig out an old USB1 hub and see if I get any joy with that, but so far really annoyed as I was really looking forward to getting all of my external storage devices hidden away with the networking kit!

Okay, I swapped out the USB2 Hub for an old USB1 Hub and now I can mount the drive without any issues, which is better than nothing, it's just painfully slow. If this is a hardware compatability issue then fair enough, but has there been any attempt by D-Link or others to modify or change the DNS-323 EHCI driver?

As for your question b8b, external USB hard drives will work with the DNS-323 (just watch out for this particular issue) the drive I am talking about is a 512GB Western Digital "Elements" USB HDD.

Iomega 2.5" 120Gb portable drive works correctly and being reported as high speed, however, an additional power source is needed, plugging the second usb cord to another usb port (pc or hub) is enough.

Found something out interesting.  I have a Maxtor OneTouch III 320 GB USB hard drive.  On my dns323 with HW A1 (1.04b84) it gets the following:

USB Mass Storage support registered.
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_platform and address 2
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -71
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_platform and address 3
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 3, error -71
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_platform and address 4
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_platform and address 5
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71

..but it works fine on my dns323 with HW B1 (1.04b84).  I guess more was done in the new hardware besides the SATA controllers.

For compatibility on this page, please list your HW version and firmware.

Supertalent Pico-C 8 GB USB stick works fine for me, but it wasn't possible to format the stick directly with the DNS-323, because there was a segmentation fault, when I called "fdisk /dev/sdc". So I used a Gparted Live CD to create the ext2 partition ...
