Admittedly this is a bit tenuous. What I'm trying to do is write a kernel driver which uses the usb serial drivers, and not write a poor man's version of usb serial in the IR driver. > I think a custom usb driver that exposes the interfaces as input devices > is going to be the simplest thing for you to do here as you will have > full control over the packet size and format much easier.

So, I'll go ahead and as you suggest. Thank you for your time and thoughts on this. Sean
