No. I've been running it on my laptop for a few days now -- albeit without lowspeed devices -- and was expecting to take the next step (final review of the code, before forwarding it to Greg) soon. Maybe today even. I was just thinking about this yesterday, in fact. This one seems easier to approve than the one adding support for curious byte ordering in various vendors' EHCI silicon. ;) - Dave > Is there anything I could do to make it more acceptable?
