Thankyou for the reply.

I have seen linux-2.6.14 Kernel ehci code. In that
clearly they were not adding any QH's if uframe is
greater than 5 ( FSTN territory ).

Can I have the patch on which you are working to
support FSTN  (or)  already if you have kept the patch
in any site , then let me know.


Thanks you very much
