Hi guys,
I have a notebook with 2 ports USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0.
For some reason, kernel uses xhci_hcd module driver for all the three ports.
Then you really have 3 USB 3 ports in the system.
Since I have an application that isn't compatilbe with xhci_hcd driver, I need disable it, and force the use of ehci-pc driver.
What type of application isn't compatible with xhci-hcd? Shouldn't we fix something like this in the kernel as this isn't a good thing to have.
My question is, since xhci_hcd is compiled inside the kernel, how can i do to disable it, without re-compile the kernel ?
You control where the driver is compiled, why not change it if needed? confused, greg k-h
