   New USB host controller drivers: usbhcd1

   From: "Lars Erdmann"    
      
   I have updated the USB host controller drivers   
   USBUHCD.SYS,USBOHCD.SYS,USBEHCD.SYS   
   I have now placed these on hobbes.   
   They will eventually make it into directory:   
   /pub/os2/system/drivers/misc   
      
   I worked heavily on suspend/resume for all: UHCI/OHCI/EHCI.   
      
   For UHCI I found some very nasty bugs where I was reading from some bogus    
   register address (an oversight from my part).   
   That could have about any strange effect. For all those that have hard hangs    
   (one person reported 4 UHCI controllers would work fine but the 5th would    
   completely hang his system) just try out this version and see if it helps.   
   Same holds true for EHCI where I forgot to properly initialize the retry    
   loop counter on some register polling loops.   
   Again, that could have any strange effect.   
      
   The included USBD.SYS is experimental. Give it a try anyway, in particular    
   if you want suspend/resume to work smoothly. As always, back up the original    
   IBM driver in case something goes wrong. Report results.   
      
   You CAN use the HC drivers with the USBD.SYS IBM version but better not mix    
   different versions of the HC drivers.   
      
   Please try the drivers with and without the /FS flag and report results. If    
   the /FS flag turns out to be the better choice I might consider making it    
   the default and therefore to render the flag superfluous.   
      
   I would like to thank all those people who have reported bugs, in particular    
   those people who where patient enough to wait for the solution.   
   If I don't get many bug reports in the next couple of weeks, I will consider    
   this version stable enough for eComStation to add to their installation    
   CD-ROM update (together with the updated ACPI.PSD). Therefore the update    
   rate will go down ...
