I've just begun playing with this. System is SuSE 2.2.13 with the 2.3
backpatches installed. The machine is a Sony VAIO PCG 310 with a
Lexmark E310 laser printer. Booting under Windows, the printer works
correctly.
The patches install without incident, except for a hoystick header
file, which is irrelevant, as I am not building any joystick related
support.
I have built the kernel with USB and UHCI built in rather than
modules. With the BIOS p&P option on, /proc/bus/usb is empty and the
kernel logs that it sees a USB controller but there is no interrupt
assigned.
Turning off this option 1) breaks Windows and 2) the kernel hangs
during start up at initialising PCI devices. After a power cycle and
booting an older kernel, there are no syslog entries or anything else
to aid in debugging. I think that on one occasion I actually saw the
kernel reporting on seeing the printer on the USB port before it
froze, susbsequent tries simply froze quietly.
I've noted a report from the comment in:

It's PIIX4 and ()someone else said it) the BIOS is broken, so in
FreeBSD we have to set the IRQ ourselves. :-(
========================================
Which leads to the question - I don't see this in the FreeBSD 3.2
Release code, so does anyone know if there is sample code for this
which I could hack into the Linux support?
