This means that they normally have one or more companion controllers +(i.e., +.Xr ohci 4 +or +.Xr uhci 4 ) +handling USB 1.x devices. Consequently each USB connector is electrically +connected to two USB controllers. The handling of this is totally automatic, +but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same +connector appear to connect to different USB busses. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr cardbus 4 , +.Xr ohci 4 , +.Xr pci 4 , +.Xr uhci 4 , +.Xr usb 4 +.Sh BUGS +The driver is not finished and is quite buggy. +.Pp +There is no support (yet) for hubs that are connected with high speed upstream +and low or full speed downstream (i.e., for transaction translators). +.Pp +There is no support (yet) for interrupt or isochronous transfers. |
