The best way to test them depends on what you want to learn. If all you care about is whether the drivers are free of bugs, then I can save you some trouble: The drivers _do_ have bugs. > For testing the HC driver I am planning to use the > test driver mentioned at > http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/.

OHCI is a host specification; it doesn't apply to peripherals. In fact, the "H" in "OHCI" stands for "Host". > Also out of curiosity I wanted to know all the updates > and bug fixes to the USB subsystem or core which are > submitted to the kernel tree,how are they usually > tested? Developers and users try them out and see if the system works better with the updates than without them.
