You quote this as an example of how to do things. I am not especially happy with the results. My experience: take a handful of compact flash card readers, plug them randomly into some hubs, take a handful of compact flash cards, plug them randomly into some readers. Now remove and repeat. I find it impossible to predict which device will get which name. Sometimes the name goes with the card, sometimes with the reader, sometimes neither of the two, sometimes both(!). (Yes, it happens that I access the same card both via sdc and sde.) Probably things would become clear if I would read the code, but I haven't done so yet. Andries [Names that go with the card are really confusing. It is as if one has A:/B:, that is fd0/fd1, and the name of the floppy reader depends on the floppy inserted, so that one has to remember the history. Bad.] _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
