+                       To use them, you need to set the environment-variable <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd> to <kbd>1</kbd>
+                       before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used
+                       it to access USB cables. Parallel port support still seems to rely on <i>windrvr</i>, which can be
+                       emulated by <i>libusb-driver</i>.</P>
+                       <P><B>Using 32-bit ISE 10.1 on a 64-bit platform:</B> When using the 32-bit JTAG tools from ISE Design
+                       Suite 10.1 on a 64-bit machine, the tools will not connect to the cable but output the following
+                       error: <I>Cable operation is not supported when running the 32-bit version of the application on a
+                       64-bit platform.</I>
+                       To fix this, run the tools with <KBD>linux32</KBD> or preload the newest 32-bit version of
+                       <i>libusb-driver</i>. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit
+                       platform and allows them to connect to the cable.</P></LI>
+
+                       <LI><P><I>2009-05-31</I>: ISE Design Suite 11.1 now uses Xilinx's libusb-based drivers as default, without
+                       the need to set <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd>. If you want to use this driver with ISE 11.1 for USB
+                       cables and disable the builtin support for libusb, you now have to set <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd>
+                       to <kbd>0</kbd> (<kbd>export XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB=0</kbd> or <kbd>setenv XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB 0</kbd>).
