Hi. I'd like to raise the following issue I am having with my subnotebook for discussion here. I am not sure how to really properly fix this, and I'd be happy about your input:
For quite some time now, I have to patch every kernel I use on my subnotebook to get usb 1.1 (ohci) properly working: It appears the BIOS of this machine has a bug, and does not do the HC TakeOver correctly. Without this[1] patch, ohci-hcd simply doesn't load, and I am unable to use USB 1.1 devices. Since the internal wlan card, and my external braille display are both USB 1.1, this is quite a serious issue for me. Can you think of some way to properly fix this such that the fix could go into mainline kernels? It is rather suboptimal that I can not use any stock compiled kernels, for instance, when installing the system from scratch... This issue is outstanding at least for a year now, linux-laptop.net has an entry for the XP7250 which explains this problem since somewhere around september 2003 or so.
