Hello, We continue getting reports that brltty happens to get installed on some box for some reason, and the generic USB probing interferes with non-braille devices. We have notably received:
“for example it grabbed my USB<->1wire adapter which had "manufacturer" and "product" field customized: Device: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x0403 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd idProduct 0x6001 FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC bcdDevice 6.00 iManufacturer 1 MERA-PROJEKT iProduct 2 USB <-> 1Wire (MP00202) iSerial 3 MPYRNJYY bNumConfigurations 1 ” Couldn't Brltty use the iManufacturer field (and perhaps iProduct field too) to whitelist only devices which have the expected iManufacturer?
