Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:22:04 +0200 From: "Andreas Jellinghaus [c]" <aj@...hirelabs.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-usb-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: why was MODALIAS removed from usb kernel events? [u] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9f8b17e643fe6aa505629658445849397bda4e4f removes MODALIAS from one of the events, this breaks user space applications like openct - everything that depends on getting an event that has both the DEVICE= path to the usb device and any information on the interface, so it can check if the device is something it supports (in case of openct: smart card reader, i.e. bInterfaceClass 0b). The text does not mention MODALIAS nor the reason for it's removal. sorry for being late, this problem shows up with 2.6.21 -> 2.6.22 changes.
