Hello Bernd,

I'm not sure why the usbdux drivers are not auto attaching correctly.
Sorry about the problems.

What version of the kernel are you testing with?

Are the USB_DEVICE() id's correct in the driver?

The comedi USB drivers should auto attach when the device is detected.
The USB driver (*probe) will call comedi_usb_auto_config() which then
calls the comedi driver (*auto_attach).

All of the usbdux drivers do the initial USB setup, buffer allocation etc., then
call comedi_load_firmware() to request and load the firmware for the device.
After that the subdevices are allocated and initialized.

Try putting a couple printk debug messages in the usb (*probe) and comedi 
(*auto_attach) functions in the drivers. You might also put a printk in the
callback functions that actually upload the firmware to the device.

Please let me know what you find. Hopefully this is a minor bug and we can
resolve it quickly.

Thanks,
Hartley
