What confuses me is that according to the source code, the error
shouldn't happen. In Programs/config.c, we have:
static const char *const usbDrivers[] = {
"al", "bm", "eu", "fs", "hd", "hm", "ht", "hw", "mt", "pg", "pm",
"sk", "vo", NULL
};
IOW, "ce" is deliberately not listed because we *know* it could
conflict.
It would be worthwhile to figure out why it is choosen anyways.
The correct solution for this problem is to stop the Cebra driver from
attempting to auto-detect. the Cebras are *very rare*, since the
company selling them went bancrupt a little before it actually started
to sell them in large volumes. So there are a lot more HT devices out
there. So how is should be is the other way round: If someone has a
Cebra, they should be forced to specify it manually.
