Hi There. Thanks for Device-USB. this isnt a bug. I have attached diffs for changes to USB.pm and Device.pm that add the following features: debug_mode now takes an integer 0, 1 or 2, consistent with the debug modes offered by libusb. 2 is more verbose. new function get_driver_np($interface) mirrors usb_get_driver_np. Calls usb_get_driver_np on platforms where it is available, else returns 0. new function detach_kernel_driver_np($interface) mirrors usb_detach_kernel_driver_np. Calls usb_detach_kernel_np on platforms where it is available, else returns 0. This is required to get control of USB devices on some Linux distros.

Thank you for the patch. It has been applied, but I don't have a useful way to test it. The patch did not have any changes to Device::USB::Device, so there was no way to call the new code. Those changes have been added. If you have a test for this code, I would appreciate a note letting me know how it turned out. Thanks, G. Wade

BTW, the updated code is Device::USB version 0.15 now available on CPAN. G. Wade

I see now that the diffs for Device::USB::Device was not in the patch. Sorry, that was my fault. Here is a the correct, complete patch against 0.14, which includes the changes to Device::USB::Device (which do call the new code in USB.pm) Apologies. Cheers. Show quoted text

Thanks, Mike. It looks like we made about the same changes to Device::USB::Device. I added a bit more documentation, though. The latest version (0.15), on CPAN should be compatible with the results of your patch. Thanks for adding this functionality. G. Wade

OK, 0.15 works fine on SuSE 10 Cheers. Show quoted text
