The USB-IF kicked the Linux Foundation out of its organization a number of years ago for an unknown reason. Unknown to me, the USB-IF representative of the LF, odds are people within the USB-IF know why they did it, but they wouldn't tell me. We were even _paying_ them to be part of their group and they kicked us out (without refunding our money), I can take the hint that they don't care at all about Linux... Yes, a list like that would be a wonderful thing to have, but unless something radically changes within USB-IF, I doubt we will ever get such a thing :( sorry, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
