There is now way to do that. If the device is unreadable, you can't get any information from it, and thus libusb doesn't return any information about it. On the other hand, the permission on your system are wrong. Why are there set to such a value? The USB nodes should be at least readable by all users. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
