I certainly should have sent this to linux-usb-users, sorry. Those of you with USB 2.0 on your motherboards, please let me know if this behaves for you; I've not heard reports from many Intel ICH4 users, and some problems with the VIA support should be fixed in this version. Plus, it'll work much better with USB 2.0 CardBus adapters.
Highspeed disks are good devices to have (carry your entire MP3 collection around, or a complete set of system backups!). If you need to get a new hub, make it a USB 2.0 hub. - Dave -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2.4.20-pre7 USB 2.0 "ehci-hcd" patches Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 16:20:05 -0700 From: David Brownell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought I'd send the note here as well as to the Linux-USB list. Either because I thought the exposure to more folk that may have shiny new hardware could be useful, or because I'm a glutton for punishment ... I'm not sure yet. The two patches are archived, such as http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=103195770819572&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=103195884620392&w=2 I won't see LKML followups unless you cc me, but I'll see posts on the USB developer's list. - Dave -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [linux-usb-devel] [PATCH 2.4.20-pre7 0 of 2] EHCI updates Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 15:51:11 -0700 From: David Brownell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sending a couple of EHCI related patches out for folk who'd like to try this on top of 2.4.20-pre7. I'd like to see if anyone has any feedback about it before taking the next steps to get it into 2.4.20 ... there are improvements, but likely some problems could still stand to get fixed. If you're using EHCI hardware, please try the patches. Especially if: - You've had problems before; CardBus should work, and there were a bunch of bugfixes too. - You're not using a NEC host controller: Intel (ICH4), VIA (VT6202, VT8235), SIS (962, 963), NForce2, and so on. If you have a newish motherboard, it may well have USB 2.0 built in. - You want to use USB 1.1 interrupt transactions through USB 2.0 hubs, such as for many HID devices, some Ethernet adapters, some disks, and so on. The first patch does some minor updates to usbcore, which happens to break the current 2.4.20-pre7 ehci-hcd code. The second patch brings ehci-hcd up to the 2.5.34bk4 level, and relies on that first patch. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
