Thanks for the feedback - I will try libusb again with 2.6 although I think we will still see the same issues with the interrupt transfers (one-shot wasn't really the problem there).
As for the serial driver - what would be the main advantages of that? The usb tower doesn't really do anything sophisticated in its communication as you could probably see from the driver. Otherwise, I will clean up the code a bit more using usb-skeleton as a guide. thanks david On Fri, 2003-09-05 at 07:56, Greg KH wrote: > On Wed, Sep 03, 2003 at 04:08:22PM +0800, David Glance wrote: > > I would like to submit this driver for inclusion as a usb/misc driver > > for 2.6.0-test5 > > > > The Lego usb IR tower is used with Lego Mindstorms kits and this is used > > by a number of Universities (including mine) and schools for teaching > > computer science, robotics, software engineering, etc. > > > > It was in 2.4, a one-shot interrupt driver and so was quite unusual in > > that respect (one-shot as a concept is apparently no longer available in > > 2.6 as such).
