When I first run my program everything is OK. That is I can detach the kernel interface and then claim the interface and then release the interface. TERMINAL OUTPUT e...@ed-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./DelcomUSBDevice.py Found Delcom Device Claiming interface Manufacturer: Delcom Products Inc. Product: USB IO Controller Bytes written %s 8 Sleep 2 seconds close done But if I run the program a 2nd time or more I get two errors. 1. could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: No data available 2. No interface claimed TERMINAL OUTPUT e...@ed-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./DelcomUSBDevice.py Found Delcom Device could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: No data available Manufacturer: Delcom Products Inc. Product: USB IO Controller Bytes written %s 8 Sleep 2 seconds No interface claimed e...@ed-desktop:~/Desktop$ Any clues to why this is happening?
