There's a patch floating around lkml that changes the way dev_* works, so that if there is no driver bound, it prints the bus name. So for this, it would show "usb", which is what we want. Try it out and if it works, I'll be glad to add it. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [email protected] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
