In its default configuration, usbfs is disabled, but it can be enabled with "./configure --with-usbfs".

The new version '0.4a' of Usbview2 is available under the following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbview2/ Now, I would appreciate if somebody test the SW and give some feedback (change requests are welcome). On the other side, I would like to know the next steps for coming forward. Thanks a lot, Luis -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.
