No, that's ok to do. I just changed the usb-serial drivers to do this for the 2.4 tree, after getting a _lot_ of emails from people who were very confused about the "device not claimed by any driver" error message that this causes.

Please run this patch through him if you can. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
