I thought that it was William Sowerbutts that said it, but I couldn't find that either. What I did find was this: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/private/dorset/2016-December/015967.html Which might be the answer. I'll not be able to follow this up for a day or two, because of family illness and other commitments, but I'll have a look at the OMG! Ubuntu link and see if I can make it work. > How are you observing the ID string? I think you might be wrongly > calling something else that. It's not the `0d8c:013c' or `8086:0808'. Those numbers are the Manufacturer's ID. I'm sure that someone thought that these could be used; maybe it was simply said at a Meeting.
