This device seems to be HID with a custom protocol over the top, so presumably I can let the HID driver handle all the USB initialisation and just focus on the protocol. > Please look at drivers/hid in 2.6.28-rc1 or newer.

Great, I'll have a look now - thanks! > If you have any further questions, I'll be happy to help you, but I will > be completely offline until 11th November, sorry. Thanks for that! I'll see how I go. If there are existing drivers I can use as examples, hopefully I should be okay for the most part.
