However, | neither he nor Doug bothered to mention if their test machines had UHCI | or OHCI hubs. Given what I've learned, I suspect they were OHCI. We used both OHCI to itself for initial debugging then an OHCI machine to UHCI and a UHCI to UHCI. So it didn't seem that saying what stack we used was important since they both worked for us. This was -current as of a week or so ago. We did run into an issue with OHCI, in that if we plugged in any USB device after the machine was booted we would get the td_??? panic. So we had to have the device plugged in when we booted the machine. After the machine was up we could unplug it and plug it back in. For testing we did ping's and ftp's of /kernel and it worked okay. I also ran netperf and got 3.4Mbits/sec with MTU's of 900 & 1500. So we are not saying the USB stack is perfect, but it worked for us. Doug A.
