I am using raspberry pi 1 B+ model with two USB devices (wifi dongle/Ethernet )
along with builtin NIC. all the USB devices including builtin NIC getting disconnected from time to time

kernel version is 4.9.35+ #1014 Fri Jun 30 14:34:49 BST 2017 armv6l GNU/Linux

have any thought on this ?

Update :

I am facing this only If I connected both wifi adapter and Ethernet usb devices. If I connect only one device it works fine (running without any issue for weeks)

I am using this as IPv6 router to use with hurricane electric's tunnel broker since my ISP does not provides native IPv6 connectivity. wlan0 connected to ISP router and eth connected to my PC. everything went well until I try to connect second ISP router via new Ethernet USB adapter

    What do you use as a power source for your Raspberry-Pi ? Do you use a USB hub to connect multiple devices ? Also you take a look here

    @Ephemeral I am using a 1AMP USB power source. No I am not using a USB hub, two USB devices are connect directly to USB ports

    Ok thank you for this additional informations. Have you upgrade your raspbian (I suppose NO because you have a tag Raspbian stretch) ? Maybe try this : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-ralink and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? Also, try to disconnect all additional devices from your USB ports and try only with your Wireless adapter (maybe one device connected have a hardware problem and cause this) ?

    ... You are welcome , From here i can read : The HDMI port uses 50mA, the camera module requires 250mA, and keyboards and mice can take as little as 100mA or over 1000mA! ... so your 1A power supply or 1000mA can be insufficient if your other connectedd USB devices are keyboard and mouse. Last suggestion: try with another 1.5A power supply ?

    You say "latest supported kernel 4.9.35+" BUT current Stretch uses 4.19.66+ so it is very out of date. You have not described your networking setup.

1 Answer 1

Reset to default

There are a few parameters you could tweak in /boot/cmdline.txt back in the day to make USB host more stable (dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 and the like). These are mostly useless on modern kernels, as either the underlying causes got fixed or the safe values became the default ones. You can try them out but I wouldn't spend too much time on these, as these tweaks are mostly snake oil by now.

In the remaining cases the prevalent root cause is inadequate power: your USB devices disconnect from the bus for no apparent reason, which (barring internal firmware bugs or hardware problems) is usually due to brown-out resets. If those USB dongles work fine in a laptop using the same firmware, your only option is to get a better power supply or use a second supply to power an external USB hub. Of course, you can't plug the builtin NIC into a laptop, so diagnosing it requires having a second Pi which is unlikely to have the same hardware defect.
