I'm a bit short of time.. but it would be more productive to get the changes in 4.x than to have you running your own stack :-/ Pitty I didn't have time to look at this a month or so ago.. teh 4.11 release is too close. I will however keep working on RELENG_4 even after 4.11 there may even be a 4.12. it also allows people to get good code from CVS even without a release. > > Also, FWIW, it appears that my ehci.c that I compiled was taken > directly from NetBSD, as I had still experienced data-toggle > problems with all FBSD source of that time, while they were less > frequent (though occasionally present) with NetBSD. should be fixed now however > > My last source update was made late October, before the latest > recent updates.
