Independant of that, I can see a number of uses for the CUSE code. One would be emulating /dev/pilot for old palm pilot software that things it wants to talk to a serial port, yet really a libusb userspace program can handle all of the data to the USB device instead. So don't think that just because this userspace-OSS implementation is "not what should be done" that CUSE shouldn't be viable. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
