One reason is that the /dev/ttyUSBn path isn't predictable. Even if it's made predictable on Linux, it still mightn't be on other platforms. >You shouldn't have to mess with usbfs or HID reports or >anything else like this at all, it should all "just work" for you. Yes, in theory, that's correct. The problem is, however, that this code must work on many platforms (e.g. we're now working on making it even work within grub) so it's just far easier, from my perspective, to have a generic layer of basic USB operations which works everywehre, and then to use that. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
