> - Fail if ftdi-sio is loaded This does not really make sense for the intention of libftdi, which is based on libusb (0.1 or 1.0) and libusb requires to detach the kernel ftdi-sio driver. In that case, the use should not use libftdi in the first place. > - Provide multiple access (by unloading "usbfs") I think this is good to have. To me it is a bug of libusb, a legacy from the original libusb-0.1 and carry on toe libusb-1.0. I think your patch is good. -- Xiaofan -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details. To unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
