I meant to add that I, too, am against supporting bogus VID:PID combinations in the HAL drivers. It's supposed to be a zero-configuration system, and if someone doesn't have a legitimate VID:PID, there is the potential for requiring a configuration option to disable that combination later. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
