Well, the zd1211rw already did that, I wanted to fix that up and was told to do it in usb-storage instead (which, looking at the diffstat, seems like a good idea). > And there is always the question of being able to access the "fake > CD-ROM" without hacking the kernel. I was thinking that I would be able to achieve that by echoing an appropriate quirk into /sys/module/usb-storage/parameters/quirks, however, I could not get it to *not* eject the device. But given that there is already an "option_zero_cd" parameter in usb-storage, it should be easy to massage this into a general "do not eject virtual installer media" flag so that people are still able to get the windows driver files off their devices should they need to do so. > I'd like to see these devices removed from unusual_devs.h. I'd like them to work with one driver, not two (one in kernel and one in userspace). That's a fundamental difference in opinions, and I fear I'm not the one who is going to decice how this will be handled ;) Have fun, Stefan -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
