Any suggestions ? Thank you in advance. Please search the Net for something called "USBmon". It's an earlier attempt to do this very important work. It floundered largely on API problems. Piping things through procfs is not going to fly. I would think that usbfs sounds like a good place, but Greg suggested a socket instead (a-la Netlink). This has to be thought out well. The mechanics of this thing sans API are rather straightforward. The consensus is that intercepting usb_submit_urb and urb->complete is good enough for most needs. -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
