I worked it out (sort of). After trying all your tips, the reader still did not work in any way. Almost ready to throw it out of the window, I tried to insert an old USB 2 Hub between de HP microserver and smartreader. Immediately, the reader started working, exactly as before on 5.2. I tried to remove the hub and immediately it stopped working again. I also tried different BIOS settings regarding USB, bot none worked. Lsusb only shows the device when connected through the hub. So the only way to get the smargo working for now is to use the old (Sweex) USB 2.0 Hub. I am okay with that for now, but if possible I would like to connect the reader directly.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I will try to follow you instructions and modify the config. But even without the changes, don't you think I should get some kind of notification when plugging it in (dmesg). I am using a microserver by the way.

I am on the same boat. Coming from DSM5.2 where the Smargo reader worked perfectly (detected as /dev/ttyUSB0), now the device is not detected. When I run 'dmesg' after plugging it in I don't even get a notification. So I think it is not detected in any way. The USB port seems to be fine. When I connect a USB stick, I can access it. Tips anyone?

I have tried to update 4.1 with the 4.2 beta package from xpenology, but it did not work.

Is there any way to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 without reinstalling the whole thing and also keeping the data on (safe) on the drive.
