It is called "Transaction Translator" and is a feature of all hubs now on the market, although strictly speaking it's optional. My comment referred to translation of Isochronous transactions specifically. We know that Interrupt, Control, and Bulk are translated because the mouse works (I suppose your "apparently" referred to that). > so when a downstream port is full speed the upstream port > will use highspeed transactions, that way all 4 downstream ports can > have a full 12Mbit/s bandwidth. The performance advantage is a nice side effect, but more importanly you cannot connect Low- and Full- speed devices to High-speed bus without a hub translating transactions for you. > A second configuration is that the > upstream transaction also will be full speed and than the 4 ports have > to share the 12Mbit/s upstream.

It's not a "setting", and you know what the upstream port speed is from reading /proc/bus/usb/devices. > Does Linux have any infrastructure to changes settings of HUB's like > this ? There are no "settings". In theory it may be possible to tell ehci-hcd to unbind from a certain port, and then bind its companion there, thus forcing the Full-speed operation. But to the best of my knowledge, we do not have any /sys files or other interface to effect such change. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
