I agree. This is a known problem in the current Linux USB stack. Other OSs also have this problem for lots of different kinds of devices (like for printers without serial numbers.) It is on the list of things todo for the 2.5 kernel series. See the archives of the linux-usb-devel mailing list for lots of discussion about this topic. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
