I didn't realize you were using 2.4. It's not a good choice for new development work. USB host drivers in 2.6 are considerably simpler. The files that belong to the "core" subdirectory in 2.6 are present in drivers/usb in 2.4. > As I am using linux 2.4 can I copy the 'CORE' folder or the whole of USB > folder from Linux 2.6 to linux 2.4 and use it. It won't work. (You could recursively copy the whole of the linux-2.6.12 folder into 2.4... That would work. :-)) > Can anybody please tell me whether this part of the code is backward > compatible?
