Yep. Sorry. I've not been clear (some weeks looking for an answer to a problem makes one think that all is obvious :( ). My problem with hotplug is the translation between the shell variable DEVICE and "struct device" libusb expects (well, actually I should pass that variable to a running daemon, too, but that's another problem).

Same problem. shell -> libusb translation. What I have is a daemon that handles all the connected devices. It gets notified of the relevant (un)plug events, so it knows when a certain /proc/bus/usb/BUS/DEV exists. What I don't know how to handle is the "opening" of that device (even better verifying it's the right device, too), even in presence of many other similar devices. > You can try asking more questions on the linux-hotplug mailing list. I thought it was more an usb 'problem' than an hotplug problem. Tks, Diego. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
