The probe code did change on Feb 23/24th. But what I've been seeing
in the lsusb output from both you and Miles is that it seems to be
something more basic: the endpoints btool needs to use to talk
the database protocol just don't show up.
The possible causes for this are:
- a kernel issue... you are both running the same kernel, so there
is a slight chance this could be a factor... I'm running
a stock 2.6.18.1 kernel if anyone is curious.
- a firmware issue... this looks likely since Troy has had success
with new firmware... but I have a hard time believing RIM
would release firmware that Windows can't make backups with,
so I'm curious how Windows does manage to talk to it.
- a bcharge issue... this is always possible. I reverse engineered
the Pearl codes with a quite recent version of the Pearl,
so maybe I'm using something that is not fully backwards
compatible. Unfortunately I don't have an older Pearl
to snoop with.
Running "bcharge -o" seems to work no matter which version of firmware
you are running, but then you don't have usb_storage support until you
reconnect the device. It is an available workaround though.
