Hub 8-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)

Done. with loglevel=3 no messages appear.
But I decided to investigate a little further, and tried with loglevel=5. Here is what it shows:

I am not sure about the other messages, but the usb: port management may be unreliable could have something to do with the hub 8-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)?

I tried to search more about this error and I found this post. Then I run the watch -n 1 lsusb, and plug/unplug devices to the usb ports. But to be honest, I am not sure what I should be looking for here.

If we said earlier this can be ignored, let me try to solve the wifi (and so the bluetooth) issue. What is your Network Card?

I tell you this because, since with loglevel=3 the error does not show, it is ignorable.

Here is a good description on this:

@SignorCastello, thanks for the help.
I ran sudo lshw -c network. Here is what it returned:

When I run lspci, here is the network information it returns:

When I go to settings, Zorin doesn't recognize the WIFI adapter:

I went to the vendors site, to see if there is any driver that I should update, but it only offers an Windows option.

Which kernel are you currently on?

uname -r

That's the post I found where it suggests the watch -n 1 lsusb command. But after I run it, I am not sure what I should be looking for.

Below what it returns. Device 006 and Device 007 are my keyboard and mouse. The other devices I assume are onboard devices, since I don't have anything plugged to the USB. What triggers me is the Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub. I have no idea what it is.

These are normal, that is just the Bus itself.

I do not see anything out of place. The error you have been getting is for Device 008.

The Mediatek Wifi Controller has had strong support in the Linux Kernel since 5.12... On 5.15, it should be working. Do you recall if it was working before you elevated to 6.3?
I strongly suspect that would be the iwlwifi driver, without going to look...

Sorry, @Aravisian, but I couldn't find the Device 008. Did you mean Device 003: ID 0b05:19af ASUSTek Computer, Inc. AURA LED Controller or BUS 008?

I could not see if it was working before update to 6.3. But I went to the Advanced Options for Zorin and boot the previous version 5.15 there, and still no WIFI or bluetooth.

Your error hub 8-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19):
The 8 refers to the BUS device. The 0 refers to the root bus. The 1 refers to the interface.

I see- so no simple fix there... I suggest starting a new thread on the Radio issue of Wifi/Bluetooth. I think we may need to install drivers. Fortunately, your Ethernet is working...

If there is one good thing about this problem, it is that I am learning a lot here. :sweat_smile: Thank you.
Is there a way to physically find this BUS device? I tried all usb ports available while running watch -n 1 lsusb, and none where related to the BUS device 008.

Ok, I am on it!

You can try

usb-devices

There may be other more specific commands, but I will need to look them up and test them...

I saw what can solve your issue! https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin?id=948cad200e94d82d339207f8ac7b10f932bd627a
Copy these into /lib/firmware/mediatek as root. Re-Boot.

@Aravisian to you does it seem like an helpful suggestion?

Yes. O.P. might also see this post here:

I downloaded the file and placed it in /lib/firmware/mediatek.
There was already a file with that name there, but with a slightly smaller size which I replaced with your version. Below an image of both of them in my downloads folder. I reboot, but nothing change. Wifi and Bluetooth still not working :confused:

sorry. I have nothing to say anymore.

I am not sure how I missed post number 61... That's been a wait.

I am not actually sure where we stand at this point. I see multiple issues listed at once. A Radio issue: Wifi and Bluetooth and the O.P. of a USB port issue. I believe that the radio issue should be a separate thread.

Going back to the BIOS issue, does your motherboard have ASUS EZ Flash 3 option? It is what I do to upgrade mine (AMD Ryzen 7 ASUS X470-PRO) and also other family Members ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Ranger [Intel Kirby Lake Processors]). You don't need Windows for this, just download zip file to USB and update following the guide from here:
