This is a problem for USB sound devices and USB scanners as well. That would explain the lack of communication - the generic USB driver isn't providing this extra link. In those devices, they run the device on Windows while sniffing the communications. They then reverse engineer the interface and add it to a linux kernel driver. You might get some idea from examining the tools they use to do this. What you would do is create a kernel driver for the device starting from the generic USB driver and adding the proprietary extensions you found in windows. Loaded with modprobe, this would then allow the software you are running under wine to communicate with the hardware. As a long shot, it might just be that there are permission problems of some sort that are preventing communication. That is, the hardware actually is using the generic USB driver, but the software is being prevented from talking to it. Maybe someone who has this working will give you a better answer. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
