freebsd stable - Nov 2004 - status of ehci(4) in 5.3-stable?

Hiho! :-)

What is the current status of ehci(4) in 5.3-stable, i.e. what are my
chances that if I buy <cheap 3.5" external usb 2.0 case> it will just
or
probably work?

Thanks in advance!

Bye
Marc

I think your chances would be better using a firewire adaptor and HD.  On 
the Intel 865 boards I have tried with, USB 2.0 is pretty broken for me.

I think it depends on your chipset.  I think my laptop (a D800) is an
855 chipset (ICH4, anyways), and the  echi driver has been working
well on it.
