Use the LED framework ... it supports a variety of triggers. For example, "heartbeat" blinks faster as system load increases, "timer" has easily settable periods, and you can manually set the brightness ... all under sysfs control. The simplest way to plug into that is to just to submit your URBs asynchronously. Save it away when it completes, so you don't have to re-allocate another URB later. You don't need a task for this. - Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
