Intel's Latest USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver Is Out

The USB 3.0 driver is compatible with the Intel 7 Series Chipset Family used only with Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system (both 32 and 64-bit) and the Intel C216 Series Chipset Family used either with Windows 7 (32/64-bit) or Windows 2008 R2 (only 64-bit version).

As for the fixes, in this release, Intel resolved a problem with the USB Camera that would stop working after resuming from S3 state.
