Bug in lsusb or in the kernel drivers? Can you send what /proc/bus/usb/devices looks like with the device plugged in, _and_ the driver bound to the device? Doing that reads the strings from the device, just like lsusb should be doing. If that is successful, I think the problem would be in lsusb. 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/
