ChangeSet 1.1832.55.17, 2004/09/03 13:31:41+02:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [PATCH] USB: Remove inappropriate unusual_devs.h entry
A couple of months ago you applied a patch from Torsten Scherer to create a new unusual_devs.h entry. In further discussions with him I learned that the entry wasn't needed to access the device; the only reason for it was as a workaround for some old, buggy hotplug program on his system. Now Evan Fletcher reports that the entry actively prevents him from using his device. For me that's the last straw, so here's a patch to remove the entry. Torsten should be okay if he simply upgrades his hotplug package or removes the buggy program.
