This is bulshit. Get your act together babe. You are hacking and deriving from GPLed code. You are legally bind by that. But you are welcome to remove any lowlevel rocket science from your driver and just post the Linux relevant things. Infact why don't you start with a demo driver that just emulates in SW IO transfers close to what your driver will do. scsi_debug is a good place to look. > But Still I am confused with return status (to SCSI layer) for the > command while it is in progress, to get the next command.

Look in Alan's other mail I think you are hit with the usb queue_command posting the commands to a thread. This is unique to usb. > -RD Boaz -- 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
