+
+This is the documentation of (hopefully) all possible error codes (and
+their interpretation) that can be returned from the hostcontroller driver 
+and from usbcore.
+
+NOTE:
+The USB_ST_* codes are deferred and are only listed for compatibility, new
+software should use only -E* instead!

+**************************************************************************
+
+Non-USB-specific:
+
+USB_ST_NOERROR
+0		URB submission went fine
+
+-ENOMEM		no memory for allocation of internal structures	
+
+USB-specific:
+
+-ENODEV		specified USB-device or bus doesn't exist
+
+-ENXIO		specified endpoint doesn't exist on the device
+
+USB_ST_URB_INVALID_ERROR
+-EINVAL		a) Invalid transfer type specified (or not supported)
+		b) Invalid interrupt interval (0<=n<256)
+		c) more than one interrupt packet requested
+
+-EAGAIN		a) specified ISO start frame too early
+		b) (using ISO-ASAP) too much scheduled for the future
+		   wait some time and try again.
+
+-EFBIG		too much ISO frames requested (currently uhci>900)
+
+-EPIPE		specified pipe-handle is already stalled
+
+-EMSGSIZE	endpoint message size is zero, do interface/alternate setting
+
