Re-reading the USB-2.0 standard, a short packet which terminates the transfer is defined by packet_size < wMaxPacketSize, not by packet_size < 512. Thus wMaxPacketSize == 188 (or 2*188) might be possible. There is a comment in linux/drivers/usb/host/ehci-q.c: /* The USB spec says that high speed bulk endpoints * always use 512 byte maxpacket.
