Well, at first glance it really looks like there's something wrong with the device, and the error was never detected until my changes were applied. The message > > drivers/usb/core/config.c: invalid interface number (1/1) means that the configuration descriptor says there's 1 interface in the configuration, so it ought to be interface 0 since interfaces are numbered from 0 to (# interfaces - 1). But this interface is number 1, so it has an illegal interface number. Of course, there's always the possibility that a mistake in the new code is confusing the issue. The best way to learn the true story is for Sergio to run lsusb -v under the working 2.4.21 system and post the results so we can check them. It also might help to post a copy of /proc/bus/usb/devices -- although the old config.c code was prone to strange things like using an interface number it made up rather than the one in the descriptor. Sergio, if you can send us that information it will help a lot. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
