As it's just software (with the exception of the digi devices), they are free to create whatever they want as a protocol. I suggest that if someone really wants this kind of feature in Linux, dig up the old patches that started to implement this that were in my git tree and port them to the new usb driver model. It should be pretty simple to plug into the core now, but the way the driver talked over the network will need to be rewritten (it used the userspace socket interface from within the kernel, not the nicest...) > As far as i can tell this is implemented in such a way that it is > transparent to the actual device driver and the device itself. Yes, that makes it much nicer for the user :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
