Devices like that surely never passed the usb.org test suite, right? And as such, should not be able to display the USB.org logos, and probably not work very well on any operating system...
Well, most USB devices are developed and tested only on Windows... and I'm sure we all know how well Windows USB works ;)
That being said, we should be able to handle things like this, and again, patches to accomplish this are always welcome.
Ok.. so I assume you don't mean to suggest that the kernel make special cases for all these misbehaving devices. That means that usbfs should do enough to protect the kernel and the host controller from the user, but not enough to protect the user from breaking the USB spec. I'll have to peruse the HCI code to see what sort of limits usbfs actually needs to enforce. --Micah ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
