Sounds right. On a PC I just built, modules ohci_hcd, xhci_hcd, and ehci_hcd all get loaded. Via '/sbin/modinfo <module>' it looks like: ohci_hcd -> USB 1.1 ehci_hcd -> USB 2.0 xhci_hcd -> doesn't say, but follows that it's likely for USB 3.0 > I won't promise 100% it will "just work", but in general, it should > "just work". Sounds right. [I don't have any USB 3.0 devices to test this box with, but I think it _should_ work.] -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Jul 10 - Mad Science Fair - Open Hardware Expo Aug 7 - Scripting Your World with Python Oct 2 - OpenFlow: Open Standard for Networking Hardware
