Good point. I had originally started working on a patch a while ago but ran into this problem. I forgot about it. Perhaps for 2.5 we should avoid the swap in the core and fix the drivers. For 2.4 (and 2.2 if the change should be made there too) the swap should be done in usbdevfs. That way we minimize the changes in the older kernels, but do things correctly for 2.5 and beyond. Sound reasonable? JE ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
