Anyone know?
I asked around a bit, and it seems my original understanding was correct: they allocate on the SET_INTERFACE call that choses an altsetting that has periodic endpoint. This is basically an early-vs-late binding policy choice. MSFT is doing early binding, Linux is doing late. Which is fine with me; the rule of thumb I'm used to is that late binding is preferable until there's a real problem with not having an "early" option. If you delay binding late enough, you may never need to assign the resources! :) - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
