If you have a faster memory stick, you should see more improvement. > > The problem removing active umass devices applies to *all* usb that have > secondary drivers, though I presume you all know about that... Yes. I have asked Scott Long to come up with a solution for it. So far no solution. > umodem, > uftdi, uplcom all panic on removal if the secondary device is open. Have you tried this with the new USB stack? I tried to fix these issues with all the drivers in the "UCOM" layer. Maybe you could send me a backtrace, if it still panics. > I > presume this is due to a lack of callbacks into the secondary driver to > cause it to clean up before the lower-level driver does.

Did you have the same problems before with libusb+ugen ?
