The software I've heard of that does such things today is perfectly happy with today's interface level notification. > The cost is small and the thing is potentially useful. Equivalently: it's not free, and we don't know what it'd be good for. That "small and potentially useful" argument is the essence of feature creep, which is why I don't like it. I'd far rather see some examples of improvements it would enable ... but I don't think there are any, since it'd be just a subset of what we can already do without such calls. > We discussed such stuff in Cologne and came to the conclusion that > user space wants all information on device<->interface relationship it > can get. It's sitting there in KFS already, nobody's proposing that it be removed. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- 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
