The plathome developing the driver is used the same chipset. So, the latest driver support TSB43AA22. Since the exact chipset name I had not known, the kernel will probe the chipset as "TSBXX". Thanks for offerring the information. I believe the name iLink is not popular in outside of

I have read the specification of OHCI USB only once. I guess the OHCI specification for firewire and USB has no concern, even if both basic concept to reduce driver developing effort for each vender's products are the same. You can obtain an OHCI chipset specification from

Hello, I have to notice you that the latest version driver I offered at yesterday does not have any compatibolity with the base-code of your patch. Also, I have once offered FreeBSD folks with the former version at monthes ago. But, they did not accept that one. Anyway, I can add the new chipset

For thiose of us that are not firewire experts can you guys tell us: Are we talking about two completely different firewire implementations here? Or ar they based on each other? Are there any major incompatibilities in the designs? It's time to import firewire so I'd like to get one or the

Yes, we talk about two implementations. Also both implementations are written by me. The former one is designed for socket basis API for firewire. I have once proposed with the former version. Unfortunately, FreeBSD folks did not accept it. The socket mechanism was pnly one reason, in that time.

Moved to current: Is there any chance that the OHCI code inthe firewire driver and the OHCI code in the USB drivers might be rationalised? Both seem to talk with the CAM system (from quick reading) as well, so it might seem that there is some common functionality. BTW is the struct ahb_softc{}

I haven't looked at the OHCI spec for firewire at all, but it seems that it was intended to be one specification. The OHCI spec puts a lot of processing into the hands of the chip and the interaction is smart enough to not require weird locking or delays (like the UHCI requires), so it could be
