But it produced. 
Orange Micro (http://www.orangemicro.com) have donated three USB 2.0 (EHCI)
PCI cards. I have one, the others went to David Brownell and Greg
Kroah-Hartman.

I have a commitment from IOGEAR (http://www.iogear.com) for PCI controller
now, and hub and Cardbus controllers in mid-May.

Belkin have also indicated that they are willing to provide cards and hubs
when they ship. I have to confirm the details on this, but expect May 2001.

I have a commitment from Cypress (http://www.cypress.com) for two CY3641
development kits
(https://www.cypress.com/design/progprods/usb/devtools/cy3681.html). This is
especially good news, since it has downloadable firmware (basically the EZUSB
family at USB 2.0 speed). Ideal for anyone who can work on the periodic
transfer stuff for the EHCI controller. Should be shipped next week. At this
stage one is going to David Brownell, and the other is coming to me. I will
send it (and a PCI controller) to whoever has time to work on it. No claims -
it goes to Johannes who has some limited time.

KLSI are working on a USB 2.0 device - true 10/100 Mbps ethernet. Availability
for us is probably mid-May. I plan to work on this, unless someone else
pitches in with a claim.

I am still working on other devices - response to date has been really
positive. Linux USB does have credibility amongst manufacturers.

If you have time and inclination to work on this, please contact me.

These companies are supporting Linux USB, and I commend them to you.

Brad
