We will add a note into the manpage. libusb on Solaris works for both ugen and Sun Ray USB devices. (libusb on Solaris is implemented as a wrapper that selects and uses an appropriate lower-level plug-in. Plug-ins exist for ugen and Sun Ray. See PSARC 2003/721.) Will the tool(s) introduced by this case work on Sun Ray? I know 'lsusb' used to work on Sun Ray as of about a year ago. > 4.5.

A contract is required for use of these interfaces outside of the supplying consolidation. As far as I can tell libusb is in ON and this case's deliverables will be in the JDS consolidation. If that's correct then you'll need to execute a contract with the group that owns libusb. How does this case relate to PSARC 2008/018, which declares libusb to be Obsolete and proposes to deliver OpenUSB as its replacement? Mike. -- mike.oliver at sun.com
