While we are at USB subsystem bugs. There is/was a bug with ohci
showing up with isochronous devices on ugen. Namely whenever
I attached my USB webcam and read some data from it, NetBSD crashed.
Someone posted a workaround, which still does the job on my
1.6.1. (in ohci.c, function ohci_device_isoc_done, comment out
the line "xfer->hcpriv = NULL;").
There was a message on -current with some FreeBSD patches:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2003/04/27/0005.html
including this one for ohci.c:
http://www.clabsms.de/FreeBSD/patch.sys.dev.usb.ohci.c
Is this ohci.c patch worth to look at? Could it be, that it could
solve our problems with isochronous transfers?
Thank you.
