No, this data has to be coming from kernelspace, via the driver that is exporting its interface. There are all sorts of attributes that other drivers can make available - like device serial numbers - that can ONLY come from the hardware itself. I have a strong suspicion that setting up additional kobj structures (one per attribute) and associating them with the registered device node may be the key to this. But I need to do some digging (or perhaps someone can figure it out and tell me about it)... -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
