Subject: why was MODALIAS removed from usb kernel events? [u]
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:22:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708171622.05115.aj@ciphirelabs.com> (raw)
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9f8b17e643fe6aa505629658445849397bda4e4f
removes MODALIAS from one of the events, this breaks user space applications
like openct - everything that depends on getting an event that has both the
DEVICE= path to the usb device and any information on the interface, so it
can check if the device is something it supports (in case of openct:
smart card reader, i.e. bInterfaceClass 0b).
The text does not mention MODALIAS nor the reason for it's removal.
sorry for being late, this problem shows up with 2.6.21 -> 2.6.22 changes.
Andreas
