Thanks for supporting me.
This is something for the linux-usb-devel mailing list. Unfortunately, your problem cannot be solved right now. There is currently no way to register the device info with a USB device, so that it appears somewhere in /proc/bus/usb. There are all sorts of problems with this (driver having multiple configurations, multiple devices per USB device, devices that don't have a /dev entry (network interfaces!)), etcetera, etcetera. There has been some talk about adding such a feature, but I don't know its status. - Nemosoft -- Linux Philips webcam driver page: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ Includes FAQs, links to working programs and lots of info. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
