Suggestions? (maybe CAN_ERR_CRTL_UNSPEC ??)

 From ems_usb driver.

String "USB2CAN converter" + trailing 0.

Check if usbdev->descriptor.iProduct == "USB2CAN converter".

Not really. Can someone explain what one-shot exactly means and what is the correct behavior.
I've only tested without any other device connected. I got the same errors like in normal mode.
