The significance is that we will continue to push to keep devices that can have userspace "drivers" to stay in userspace, and guard our remaining free minor numbers that we are allowed to use. :) > lsusb ? I remember trouble with that and some storage devices. Yes, control endpoint locking is also on the 2.5 wishlist. This will fix that problem. > This looks interresting. Do you want to merge driverfs and usbdevfs ? I don't know yet. Let's see how driverfs ends up being used. I am converting usbdevfs to use the vfs layer better, so that switching over to driverfs in the future will be an easy step if people think that is a good thing. > More specifically, who should support power management ? All drivers will support power management. That is the whole reason the driverfs and driver model change is happening. Now if every driver implements the power management hooks, is up to the driver, but the hooks will be available. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
