Just to make sure I understand you right: For you, the bug appeared both during opening and capturing but the retry patch fixed the capturing problem? > My question is - even though this is a (nescesary) ugly workaround, > will it ever be merged into the 'offical' driver? Absolutely. We still want to find the nicest possible workaround, but _something_ will be integrated in the official driver. > im guessing the 'offical' windows driver must have something similar > in it to overcome the hardware bug... > has anyone tried sniffing a windows session on the USB to see if does > anything like these resets? That's the thing. On Windows, the hardware bug simply isn't triggered. The timing of the USB packets is slightly different on Linux and Windows and apparently that's enough to trigger the problem.
