I have a bunch of devices here with a vid/pid of 0x0000/0x0000. And those are devices you can go buy from the store today... Lots of companies set these fields to random values, do you really want to make it easier for them to do this? :) But also note that we have a valid VID that we use for Linux-based devices to assign PIDs for, so it isn't really that hard to get a valid VID these days... thanks, 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
