I recently wondered how long it may take for the Qi-Hardware USB IDs to make it into the major distributions. On my Ubuntu, which keeps the IDs in /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids, the date is August 2009. This suggests that it may take a while.
Fortunately, updating the IDs is quite easy to do: wget http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids.bz2 bunzip2 usb.ids.bz2 mv usb.ids /var/lib/usbutils/ Now, instead of cryptic numbers like Bus 002 Device 045: ID 601a:4740 Bus 006 Device 046: ID 20b7:1540 lsusb will now show Bus 002 Device 045: ID 601a:4740 Ingenic Semiconductor Ltd. XBurst Jz4740 boot mode Bus 006 Device 046: ID 20b7:1540 Qi Hardware ben-wpan, AT86RF230-based That'll also teach me about putting too many technical details into those entries :) The Ben itself will still show up under the generic Bus 002 Device 046: ID 0525:a4a2 Netchip Technology, Inc.
