Hi,
I really hate to bother you, but I went to add that kernel patch for
the USB Mouse, and guess what? Because I recently upgraded to 4.0-CURRENT,
the code that you told me to patch isin't the same. Maybe I should stop
bothering you and ask the BSD-USB mailing list. I would like to know the
addess of that mailing list either way :)
Thanks for all of your help
Bill
