I rewrote IOUSBFamily to be capable to use USB3 devices at full speed.
I also implemented the Orbyte legacy fix and the Slice errata fix + sleep fix (made sleep fix togleable in Info.plist of AppleUSBEHCI and AppleUSBOHCI).

Enjoy... ;)

EDIT: Added customized CalDigitUSBxHCI.kext for USB3 controller support (requires this custom IOUSBFamily)

Added edited CalDigitxHCI.kext for USB3 controller support (modified for generic controller support).

Thank you so much for these kexts! I tried and failed at modifying my DSDT file to have my OHCI USB devices recognized as built-in and consequently I couldn't sleep. With your IOUSBFamily kext, however, all my devices appear as built-in and sleep works!

I have one small problem though with the USB3 controller support provided by the xHCI kext. After I installed the CalDigitUSBxHCl kext, the USB 3.0 ports on my Asus U3S6 pci-e card would be recognized and are visible in the system profiler but they would not function. Furthermore the Kext would break sleep with the Asus U3S6 pci-e card installed. Using the default IOUSBFamily and the modified Lacie kext (PXHCD.kext) would give me full USB 3.0 support at the cost of sleep and the OHCI/EHCH fixes. Trying to use both your modified IOUSBFamily and the Lacie kext results in a kernel panic that is no doubt due to a conflict between the two drivers. Do you have any idea how to resolve my problem with USB 3.0 support and sleep functionality?

I updated the source patch for the latest IOUSBFamily (10.6.8 version, build 424.4.1).
The built binaries are soon coming (when I have the time to finish downloading 10.6.8 combo update).
I have them built completely but I still need to put in some missing USB drivers (which are included in OS X under the plugins). ;)
Soon more...
