Greg, My apologies for dragging this back to life after this long. I was prepared to live with the specific kernel patches. However the current code appears to be heading to more than 1 system, and there is some concern that hacks we put will not suffice, as it may break other systems.
The only access I have to hardware is the JS20 with the ship level hardware. I don't have any history (or access at this point) with the other systems. from the keyboard of Greg KH: >On Fri, Sep 19, 2003 at 09:41:59AM -0500, Doug Maxey wrote: >> >> Howdy, >> >> Did the complete dump of /proc/bus/usb that illustrates the device >> tree that is giving me fits ever make it to this list?

At this point the choice seems to be to ifdef the entries in the unusual_devs entry.

All the data that I have at the moment indicates to me the older hardware that works with the current driver was shipped prior to the current hardware, and thanks to the vendors, does not show a delta. > >thanks, > >greg k-h > I am open to suggestions. ++doug ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN's Audience Survey.
