So it will be necessary to explain every user of this device that he has to have such a script before he can use all features of the driver. So at least for the enduser it seems to be a bit complicated. The usb driver will already have some code esspecially for this device. So wouldn't it be consequential that de driver should enter the usb device in the appropriate configuration?
