My personal opinions is nearly the same (personal only). I think:
- linux USB support (usb-uhci, usb-ohci & uhci) were not designed with an
application like ADSL is mind. ADSL requires low-latency and fast processing.
- linux USB support lacks from some functions (interrupt endpoint handling?)
It explains why some people get better results when the rmmod/insmod usb-XXX,
which may require to unplug your modem or kill some programs or whatever is
needed to put the Linux system in a clean state.
If someone knowns workaround, bugs in linux-usb or how my driver should handle
that, feel free to inform the list! A public cvs on sourceforge.net will be
setup in few days (I hope) for people wanting to get involve in the
developement.
