Update to Meteohub V4.9i (NSLU2, x86, SheevaPlug, DreamPlug, iConnect, DC01) brings these features:

Improves handling of tested USB WLAN dongles for DC01.
Tests with USB 1.1 devices with DC01 turned out, that a passive USB 2.0 hub is needed in-between to make this operable. This can impact older USB-serial adapters (PL2303 and FTDI seem to work on USB 2.0) and most USB HID connected weather stations. As USB hubs are cheap and as we don't need a separately powered one, this can easy be solved by using such a hub in-between. The inability to handle USB 1.1 devices correctly is caused by the OX820 SOC in the DC01. Maybe there will be a cure for that with coming kernel versions, but for the time being DC01 users should solve that with a USB hub. Other Meteohub hardware platforms don't share this issue.
