If anyone's backported the parts that aren't specific to 2.6, they've not (yet) posted information about it here. > If anyone could let me know if any usbtest support exists for 2.4 > kernels (or other methods of testing an HCD on 2.4 kernels), I would > appreciate it. The best you can hope for on 2.4 is lots of functional testing with different "known good devices" (there's no list I've ever heard of) which have "known good" Linux drivers (which with 2.4.21 will be hard to come by, they've all had bugfixes since then). This is one reason we strongly encourage folk to use Linux 2.6 for USB ... one of the goals of the extensive revisions was to support testability for the USB controller drivers. The tests may not get run on every release (the LTP folk are concerned with other stuff, the USB developers don't have the time), but IMO they've nonetheless made a bit difference in terms of robustness and consistency. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
