I agree. But the info is now in the driver core, it's not present in the USB core at all anymore. So since drverfs exports what's in the driver core, that info shows up there. usbfs doesn't have access to this info, so it can't display it. > I wasn't joking about putting back the /proc/bus/usb/drivers file.

Even so, that same information is now present in driverfs, I haven't taken away anything, just moved it. Lots of things are starting to move to driverfs, this isn't the first, and will not be the last. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
