Ugh, you are right. The urb handling in this driver is crazy... Let me go redo this whole thing, give me a few days... thanks for the review, much appreciated. Carlos, it would be good to know if your testing showed that the patch at least enables the device to work for now. It will leak memory like crazy, so I don't recomment relying on the driver, but it should be good enough to see if my thinking as to why the driver was not working is correct or not. 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
