Hi Greg,
If you remember our conversations at OLS, he wants the same thing I
wanted then, to be able to plug in a USB bar code reader and have it
appear as a serial port that he can attach to and open. We both have
existing code that handles serial bar code readers and it's fairly major
to change the existing code to using the hid device. In some cases we
need to have several bar code readers attached to different applications
all running at the same time. If it's a hid device that makes it almost
impossible to do.
Since I have not had the time to work on this, I've volunteered to help
debug it and do whatever else I can to help.
Cheers,
David

I'm running out of ideas how to convince my USB barcode scanner
to send its data through a device node instead of inserting it
into the kernel's keyboard subsystem, because I'd like to be able
to tell the two (PS/2 keyboard and USB barcode scanner) apart.
I, too, would like to know a solution to this. In the mean time, here is
some information on a device I have.
So you just want it to show up as a char device? What about the input
event device node? You can get the raw input events right there.
Or do you want your keyboard to not still send info to the default
keyboard too?
thanks,
