If you want to pick bridges that are important to you and take the time to optimize them better, by all means be my guest. This is the sort of thing that would have to be discussed with the individual maintainers of those bridges, so you can understand what logic was used in making the original decision (ensuring the original logic was not done to work around some bug, etc). > I haven't seen yet device which forces to use just one > size - though it is possible there is. Well, it depends on the chip. Selecting too small a value can result in packets getting dropped (this was a problem on em28xx until I fixed it a few months ago). > And no datasheet even needed, you can > see from debug log or error code if URB is not suitable. Well, this assumes the bridge fails gracefully, returning a failure. Take Patrick's example, where the device returns success but then proceed to not send back any URBs. > Why not set it some good value when possible?

Frankly, I'm not really confident this provides much value. End-users should not really be playing around with these sorts of settings. If the values are wrong, a patch should be submitted and the maintainer should fix the driver. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
