That sounds familiar. Yeah, Microsoft didn't really document this much when they released it either, except that they did give away the source for this driver in the beginning for free on their web site. It was quite funny to compare the ammount of code that it took to write a usb-serial driver for Windows vs. Linux at the time :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com.
