Solaris USB driver for Palm HotSync cradle

Solaris PDASync

4 points:
1) Just FYI - I'm a 11 year UNIX veteran, I'm not a newbie. I think I know how to a use a search engine. Don't you think I would have tried that first?

2) 1st link: I've been trying to get this guy's driver to work for over 3 months. I even tried his pdadrv package off of blastwave.org. We've been in direct email contact during this time and I still have no working driver. The driver causes my system to panic when I press the HOTSYNC button. Erik Hovland does not have access to an UltraSparc at the moment. So troubleshooting it has been problematic. I'm almost tempted to just a buy an ultra 10 off ebay and send it to him. The key word here is: WORKING

3) 2nd link: Sun's PDASync only works with serial cradles, not USB. I'd have to get a USB to serial convertor, which I'm trying to avoid.

4) I'm sorry but there are not thousands of options. There's not even a commercial option that supports USB. If there is, show me. I'll buy it.

ehci

EHCI(4)                                                    BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                                                    EHCI(4)

NAME

     ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ehci

DESCRIPTION

     The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.

     EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol.  This means that they normally have one or more companion
     controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices.  Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
     trollers.  The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
     appear to connect to different USB busses.

SEE ALSO

     ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

     The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

BUGS

     The driver is not finished and is quite buggy.

     There is currently no support for isochronous transfers.
