Or is ehci loadable? It is part of usb.ko. But we already have parts of usb.ko in GENERIC and the boot kernel for some archs. I see the following options: 1) add ehci to GENERIC and get some space by removing other drivers. 2) pull out usb from boot kernel and/or generic and change the installer to use the module. 3) add ehci to GENERIC, but not to boot kernel and let users install with USB 1.x fall-back support. I personaly prefer option 2, but I need help with the installer. Option 3 is easy to have. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
