</div>In the long run, this will solve the problem, but as long as libusb-1.0 is<br>
not included in the major distrubutions you'll be limited to just one of<br>
these devices per USB root device.</blockquote><div><br>indeed. that wasn't crystal clear in my remark.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
It also requires us to rewrite some<br>
stuff, since the library is incompatible with libusb-0.1.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>iirc, a transition compat layer is scheduled.<br>but it's sure that we'll have to use some #ifdef to switch between the old and new libusb NUT code...<br clear="all"><br>Arnaud<br>-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert R&D - MGE Office Protection Systems - <a href="http://www.mgeops.com">http://www.mgeops.com</a><br>
