--nextPart1648676.h7rlKvJYYM Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Many usb devices can be attached as different devices along with=20 being functional with some libusb app that requires ugen. eg. HP PSC Printers will attach as ulpt, if ulpt isn't loaded umass=20 can attach to access the card slot, if neither of these are loaded=20 ugen will attach which is required to run the hplip vendor software=20 so that the printer, scanner, and fax machine can be accessed. It would be very helpful to allow ulpt, umass, and ugen to all attach=20 to the device. This would allow full functionality. Simultaneous=20 access isn't necessary, but might be nice in the future. I believe I mentioned this before, but I'd like to actually implement=20 this now. At least allow ugen to attach to all devices along side=20 the native driver. I'd to do this on the HPS stack and then maybe=20 port the changes to 6.x. The closest thing I can think of that allows similar behavior is=20 vgapci that allow acpi_video and a drm driver to both access the=20 video card. Any pointers should be appreciated.
