Special thanks to:
|
|
|
|
Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
|
|
Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
|
|
Much has been learned from that effort.
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list
|
|
and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
|
|
|
|
Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
|
|
of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
|
|
THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
|
|
|
|
The following corporations have helped us in the development
|
|
of Linux USB / UUSBD:
|
|
|
|
- 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
|
|
in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never
|
|
expect such a great help.
|
|
|
|
- USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
|
|
Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
|
|
for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
|
|
Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
|
|
Operating System and supports this project with
|
|
Hardware. Thanks!.
|
|
|
|
- Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
|
|
|
|

makers in the world.
|
|
|
|
- CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
|
|
PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
|
|
|
|
- Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
|
|
will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
|
|
Linux users.

It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
|
|
for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
|
|
quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
|
|
|
|
- Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
|
|
protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
|
|
NetMouse Pro. Thanks!
|
|

|
|
is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.

standard hub driver.
