Greg,   I got this wrong earlier.   This is a USB HID device that follows
the HID v 1.1
specs.   It plugs in and is recognized as an HID device (lsusb gives all of
the information
for the device).   I am getting a couple of errors.   The read fails when a
card is swiped.
When the device loads, I get the following errors.   Scott Cambell who write
his own
device for this found this problem earlier and reported it to your group.
He said
that it was a "general bug" and that you confirmed it was a bug.   He wrote
his
own driver because the hid wouldn't work.   The problem with his device is
that you
need to remove hid support to get the device to work.  I need to know at
this point
if there are any options that I need to be aware of.   Any help would be
appreciated.

PS.   There were some hid-input.c changes in 2.4.22 but this still doesn't
work.

Manufacturer: Mag-Tek

Product: USB Swipe Reader

usb.c: unhandled interfaces on device

usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x801/0x2) is not claimed by any active
driver.
