Solaris 9 4/04 Release Notes

x86: USBA 1.0 Framework Device Driver for Universal Host Controller Interface Not Available in Solaris 9 4/04 OS (4990411)

The USBA 1.0 framework device driver (usba10_uhci) for the Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI), is not available in the Solaris 9 4/04 release.

Running the usbconfig script that is available at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin, and specifying USBA 1.0 everywhere on systems with UHCI hardware, will bind all USB ports to the USBA 1.0 framework, with the exception of UHCI ports. This result is unexpected.

The output from the prtconf -D command will display the driver to which a USB host controller and its ports are bound.

Workaround: UHCI ports, if present, are still usable with the original USB framework.
