Yes, it looks like 2.6.39 was released in May, which was before the change was made to remove the generic device rule. >> Very interesting...and good, in a way.

But in one of your previous notes, you stated that the 1100 shows up as with a USB PID of C11F, which is the same as what my 900 shows up with. The product string "Harmony 900" comes from some database of USB IDs, I think. So they are actually using the same PID for both. > As someone who's spent a lot of time in linux-kernel-usb land, let me just > tell you how HORRIBLE it is when vendors reuse vid/pid/bcd combos... they > come > out with a new piece of hardware with a bug, and you can't fix that bug > without also breaking some other device because the kernel has no way of > telling the difference. Well, I guess it can be both good and bad. Hopefully the hardware in these remotes that does the Ethernet over USB is exactly the same, so we won't run into bugs with any specific versions.
