I heard similar things. However, since USB 2.0/EHCI is standardized, that's pretty odd. Anyways, anyone apart from me running zd1211 on a USB 1.1 system? So far the two 1.1 systems I used both had problems with the stick (hiccups every some minutes). I got a NEC-based USB 2.0 PCI card now (1033:0035, Longshine 8033H, NEC 720100 chipset, EHCI/OHCI) that seems to work perfectly. As a side note, the quest I pursued until recently was adding wifi to a AMD K6 machine using some VIA MVP3 board. That's no simple task as all wifi PCI cards need PCI 2.2 or later but this chipset doesn't support that (will become very unstable with PCI 2.2 cards). Same for USB 2.0 cards - all seem to need PCI 2.2. So onboard USB 1.1 was the only option (apart from using a standalone router altogether ;-). Well, I got a slightly more recent machine now that at least supports PCI 2.2... ;-) Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
