True, that rather suggests that some more desktoppy (that's now a word!) people should get involved. Folk who know how to minimize that pain. Sometimes when I plug in a USB device I get a dialog asking if I want to configure it ... surely it would be possible to have that mechanism also consult a database (part of a distro, or on some web server) fpr info about the device, and offer the option for to poke at the device a bit to see if it behaves. That stuff works for music CDs; why not USB devices? - Dave - 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/
