I did this through a > bit in the transfer_flags bitfield. The transfer size in the URB is not limited by the maximum packet size. The HC driver splits up the transfer as specified by URB into the required number of packets. I think you might want to write to linux-usb-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net to discuss the specifics of what it mean "devices insisted on 1024". I presume the devices didn't show up on your doorstep with baseball bats to have a little chat. So there must be a specific failure symptom. Until you share it, I don't see this patch going anywhere. -- Pete - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
