This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigBB68B078A4FE603194418B07 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I have some of these 4-Port-Serial-USB-Hubs: http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_673_USB---Seriell_87414/merkmale.html They have the MosChip MCS7840 inside, wich also understands RS485/422 besides RS232. FreeBSDs umcs(4) supports the RS232 mode with standard baudrates and works with that device. Unfortunately, as soon as I open any of the 4 cuaU0.x ports, there are 500irq/s from ehci. These irqs also accur if the port is closed again (until I unload the umcs module). These irqs prevent virtual machines and also real hardware from deeper sleeping. In my case, it's a huge ammount of lost power saving. I also saw that the windows driver of the MCS7840 consuming a lot of CPU-cycles (XP-ESXi guest). Is there any chance to tranquilize? The 4-Port prolific model (http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_673_USB---Seriell_61518/merkmale.html) doesn't show these unneccessary irqs btw.!
