The problem is that fxload requires a path such as /dev/bus/usb/001/002 in order to load the firmware. So I wrote a udev rules file to do just that, however, the only useful variable I can obtain now is %k, and I get something in the form of usbdev1.2_ep00 which I then need to parse in some regexp magic in order to extract the bus and dev num in order to construct the full path. I used to be able to pull devnum and busnum ($env{BUSNUM}) but not anymore (using openSUSE 11). Now I have a loader script that parses %k and constructs the path. But this is only a hack and not a real solution, is there a way to get the full path so I can pass it to fxload without resorting to these desperate measures? Appreciate your help. ------------- Best Regards, Jasem Mutlaq Kuwait National Radio Observatory Kuwait Science Club http://www.astronomy.ksclub.org
