The defined method involves providing a script in /etc/hotplug/usb/... invoking "fxload" with the right firmware for the particular device IDs. http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=usb describes it (at the end of the page). > The BACKPACK USB adapter simply needs a EZ-USB firmware > loaded (actually it has one that is loaded to scan until a drive is > connected, then the appropriate firmware is loaded when the > scan discovers the drive type). So the kernel gets some kind of notification from the drive (interrupt transfer?) saying "I found a drive with this info, give me its firmware"? The simplest way to do that with EZ-USB would be for that first chunk of firmware to force re-enumeration using another device ID, which then causes different firmware to load. But you didn't say how that works, so it's hard to suggest any particular option. - Dave _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
