Hi again, After some serious investigation problem is solved. And the key of the solution is contained by this listgroup.. :-). As it turned out from this mail http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13486.html , duplicate messages are filtered out in kernel 2.4. I do not understand why it works so, and the surrounding kernel code is also strange for me. If I comment out that line, it works fine. Keeping the kernel intact, two queries that provide different answers work also fine, giving opportunity to hack a horrible workaround in the tool.
2.6 kernel code is free from that ominous filtering. Pete, thank you for your reply, and you all take care: Berci -----Original Message----- From: Pete Zaitcev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 12:24 AM To: Szilvási Bertalan Cc: linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: HID device communication problem with kernel 2.4 On Thu, 21 Jun 2007 22:39:32 +0200, Szilvási Bertalan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Communication is done with blocks of 9 values.

Devices routinely communicate blocks of values. This needs looking into. It may be something as simple as a missing wake_up(), but I don't know. Please let me know if you uncover something new and/or come with a patch. -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
