Thanks for the reply, and I'm sorry for the clumsy ask. I would still appreciate feedback on two points: 1. Is the basic premise reasonable? Is Hans correct in asserting that an alternate USB over IP module will be considered? 2. Do I correctly understand that there are no circumstances where copied code can be left unmodified? Even in the case where the copied code is working, production code, and the changes would be just for style? > > Please do the most basic of polite things and fix this up before posting > things. It is often difficult for a newcomer to know what the polite thing is, even after studying FAQs and documentation. I appreciate your patience (and clue bats) as I try to learn. > > And really, all in one patch? That too is pretty hard to review... Yeah. I see the point of pain. I did not see a solution as I formed the patch, but I'll try harder before resending.
