According to LDD3 chapter 13 (http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/), multiple configuration devices are rare, and interfaces can be claimed by separate drivers (i.e. I have a Logitech webcam with a mic in it, and an ALSA driver handles the mic while the quickcam module handles the video). This implies that you should see if the default configuration (or some other one) supports both mass storage and syncing interfaces, and then code Barry to co-exist with the mass storage driver by only claiming the interface(s) you need. I might not be understanding the situation correctly, I haven't looked at any USB related code yet and I'm only somewhat familiar with these concepts so far, so I apologize if the above paragraph is useless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
