That workaround appears to be "dump the kernel driver > and use the driver off the vendor's website". This is an issue you've brought up to me several months ago. I started looking into it, but because the vendor driver development happens in a completely different universe the divergence noise is substantial and it's a huge effort to consolidate these two drivers. I think that until the vendor starts to care, nothing is going to happen to resolve these ASIC driver bugs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
