I wasn’t able to get the 7-port Orico controller working, so I swapped it out for a 4-port (single chip) Anker instead.

This time when I tried to plug in a Western Digital Passport drive, I got:

I was looking at my kernel sources (3.11.7-100.fc18.x86_64) and I noticed that the usb subtree doesn’t explicitly mention the CHIPSET ID for the VIA controller anywhere (vendor 0x1106 and chipset 0x3432).
Is the VIA chipset just not supported?
Also, Documentation/usb lists the ohci and ehci drivers, but the xhci driver seems to be largely unmentioned.
If this isn’t the correct place to be asking about the VIA drivers, where should I direct myself?
Thanks,
-Philip
