This is a very good idea. I don't have time to write a detailed review of the patch now, though (away on vacation). The FSG source code has seen a lot of churn in the last kernel release. After fixing up the issues I will point out, you probably should rebase your patch on top of the current USB development tree, which is defined by the patches in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/ Alan Stern -- 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
