I can't say that I have. I've never done this kind of thing before. The adutux module was adapted from the Lego Tower module by John Homppi, and was submitted to the linux-usb maintainers for inclusion in the kernel. This was rejected because the generic USB-HID driver should work - however (the big however!), the usb-hid module expects all devices to have a bulk-out endpoint - which the ADU series do not have. This means that no amount of tweaking AT ALL will make this work with the USB-HID driver. The problem I have is that I'm certainly no coder - and I think John has given up trying to get it into the kernel. I would like to see this change however. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@xxxxxxxxx Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9017 0597 - 0412 935 897 Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
