Actually this driver has been present in Linux 2.4 for a long time; there it's called the "alternate-UHCI" or "UHCI-JE" driver, or just uhci. Without question its handling of FSBR is less than ideal. > I think your suggestion about adjusting the IDLE_TIMEOUT value is still > the best idea so far.

For the short run, maybe. I have a long series of changes for uhci-hcd planned, and one of them is to make FSBR work more rationally. Finding time to write those changes may take a while...
