I compiled 2.5.25 yesterday, and found the organisation of the USB host files difficult to fathom. (1) As far as I could make out, one _had_ to choose uhci-hcd if one one simply ran "make xconfig" and wanted UHCI. If this is the intention, why leave the other uhci*.c files there? If they don't work, they shouldn't be there. If they do work, they should be offered as options. (2) The name "uhci-hcd" struck me as odd. Surely "usb" should figure in it, if people (in particular, me) are not to get confused? (3) I found the documentation on this subject, in uhci.txt, less than lucid. I'm a bit grumpy, as the kernel didn't actually work on my Sony C1VFK -- or at least it only works one time in three. The other two times it bombs out with "hda: error: DMA in progress". (I realise this has nothing to do with USB.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: 086-233 6090 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Oh, it's good to be a geek. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
