Yes, under those conditions it might be useful. Also, if a userspace program is using usbfs that would be nice to log the traffic of (think vmware running on Linux...) But for the reasons that people use usbsnoopy on Windows, most of the time it does not make sense for Linux. Although I'll gladly take patches to add such support to the usb code if anyone has any. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- 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
