Well, I guess the intention is to show how to look up interface by bInterfaceNumber, but if you take cfg[(0,0)].bInterfaceNumber and look it up then you end with cfg[(0,0)], right? > > Also, the code lacks an > > > > intf.set_altsetting() > > > > set_altsetting is only needed by device with alternate settings. > > > otherwise the EPs are not reset which might lead to errors > > (e.g. STALL is not cleaared from previous use), and Linux complains: > > > > Stalled endpoints are not something expected in normal cases. set_altsetting() is always required before using an interface since it resets it into a known state.
