The codeless kext stuff is not too complicated - we could probably<br>
generate them the same way as the udev configuration files. The only<br>
trick is that the USB VID, PID, bConfigurationValue, bInterfaceNumber<br>
and bcdDevice values need to be included, in decimal (and the latter<br>
probably needs to be extracted from lsusb output that users have<br>
posted to the mailing lists).<br>
<br>
isn't there some joker for the b* (like "*" meaning any value)?<br>

I'll have to check, but see below.<div class="im"><br>

having the option to match so specifically is nice, but I find strange to be forced to do that!<br>

The problem is that you have to be more specific than the general HID class drivers. There is a "matching score" that the codeless kext has to beat in order to allow libusb to claim the device/interface. Wildcards do not increase the score as much as specific values.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>yup, but do you think there will be other higher values (ie that matches better than nut)?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Now, if we were using a cross-platform HID library... but I digress :-)<br>
