USB not working on MikroTik RB2011UAS-2HnD

Hi,

I am running OpenWrt 18.06.2 and I'm trying to get a USB to serial cable working on the USB port of my RB2011, but nothing happens at all when I plug the device in. A friend of mine also has an RB2011 running 18.06.1 and he had the same problem, he even tried a powered USB hub and it didn't help.

The output here is completely blank:

root@router:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

Here is my kernel log:

Did you install the drivers?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I installed the kernel module packages for the two USB to serial cables I have on hand and it also pulled in the dependencies:

Unfortunately nothing is logged at all to dmesg when I plug or unplug USB devices.

I updated to the latest snapshot (OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r9987-655fff1571) and unfortunately the problem still exists.

Here is the kernel log from the snapshot, you can see it still doesn't recognise any USB controllers:

The contents of /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices is completely blank still, too.

Does anyone else have USB working on an Atheros AR9344 rev 2 based system?

Were you able to solve your usb problem?
I have the same problem with my router, where it's usp port is not working. All drivers installed.
