No, debugfs needs to be mounted at /sys/kernel/debug/ Is it not mounted that way for you? Perhaps it is mounted with root-only access (default for 3.7-rc1 and newer kernels)? I should just port the thing to use libusb instead of debugfs, but that's a larger job for such a low-priority tool. 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
