Hotplug isn't there yet, and Liam's problem is because the Windows backend doesn't currently implement what the libusb-1.0 API currently offers. Without hotplug. This is a bug in the Windows backend.

I guess that Liam gets the point; we don't have much data, so we can't say that this is a known problem. > avoid relying on libusb(x) for any scenario that involves hot > plugging of a device. libusb-1.0 supports hot-unplug since 2008, but the Windows backend has a bug in implementing that. Since Pete doesn't seem interested to fix this I'll repeat the suggestion for Liam to have a look into the code. Or at the very least please create a ticket against the Windows backend. Patches for libusb to fix this right now are certainly welcome! //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
