For reference, I have several Dell PowerEdge 1950's that do not have
working USB in -CURRENT (but work in 6-STABLE) (AMD64), and also a Dell
Precision 390 with the same issue.
Using the new usb stack worked, but my systems kept crashing (locking
up, not able to get crash dumps). I just cvsup'ed, still not working.
Either the new USB stack needs to get ironed and go in the tree, or
newer hardware needs to be fixed on -CURRENT.
Anyone have any ideas what to look at to fix this?
Eric
