My first reaction to this is NO! The usbcore has some tricks it plays with knowing stuff about the usb_generic driver (basically it uses it as a flag to prevent bad things from happening in driver core callbacks.) But in thinking about it some more, this might be the best solution for all virtual bus implementations like this one, and the USB over IP stuff. Who knows, vmware could probably also use this to help their implementation out, if they want to write GPL code :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
