Hi,
Im fairly new to the linux USB system and am trying to get some code
going for the p5 data glove from essential reality. The sample code
provided (both official(closed source, library not code) and
unofficial(open source yay, uses libusb)) is user mode code which
accesses the device via the usb devfs. Ive tried searching the archives
but i cant find much on this problem that helps so please be patient
with me if it has been seen b4 :)

the acess is via libusb, however i have traced the error code past the
libusb calls and into an ioctl call from libusb.

here are the details

linux 2.6.0-test11 no patches
debian

the code snipet from lib usb that returns an error is...

ret= ioctl(dev->fd, IOCTL_USB_BULK, &bulk)

where bulk is
(gdb) print bulk
$1 = {ep = 129, len = 2, timeout = 2000, data = 0x804b008}

as far as i know that data pointer is valid and large enough to hold the
data requested.

the error returned is EINVAL(22) Invalid Argument

IOCTL_USB_BULK is a duplicate of USBDEVFS_BULK
i guess libusb makes its own copies of these so that it can be used
without the kernel headers being installed

finally the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices is attached, the device im
interested in is the essential reality p5 glove, it has two end points,
one which acts as a mouse and the other as a bulk transfer end point
(the one im interested in)

also there is a htoplug script that sets the permissions on the device
correctly for user mode access

I have some skills with debugging/coding so if there is any other info
that is needed im happy to dredge it up, i havent tried this code yet on
a 2.4 kernel although it is supposed to work....

Thanks,

Toby
