No, we don't need to. TSB41AB2 is only a PHY, not a link layer controller. While the PHYs (the combination of PHYs which are present on the bus) influence the conditions under which the bug can happen, the cause for the bug is in the link layer controller alone.
So unless Creative used a TI design in their link layer controller or otherwise managed to implement this same quirk as TI (Agere, NEC, and VIA didn't according to my tests so far), the presence of TSB41AB2 on a card does not make it necessary to activate the quirk workaround. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=-- =--=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
