The fact that this code written in 2001 still works is
puzzling, isn't it ? Yes, I can guarantee you that this driver has
been following the various updates of the USB API, still works, and is
still maintained, even though updates are very minor. Last update was
in 2.6.6.

Could you point out where is this comment ? The versions in
the current 2.4.X and 2.6.X kernel mention explicitely that it works
with all HCI.

Please don't do that, unless you provide a reasonable
alternative. I don't see the point in crippling the USB code just
because your favorite USB drivers don't use this feature.
