Thanks for all the info. Now i have figured out how to do it.. I got the bus no from the hid itself and the port no by parsing the /proc/bus/usb/devces file and combined the two to get a unique identifier for the usb port to which my USB device is connected.
I have another question for you. If I connect two USB devices to my machine, I need to loop to get all the handles for the USB devices(right??). So I will have to call hid_force_open() and the other calls in a loop. How can I instruct the hid_force_open() call to pick up the next US B device , If it has already got one of the handles.
