I didn't see any extra email postings on this, I hope it doesn't just
disappear.  Can I ask one favor?  I would VERY much appreciate it if you
would pick a single one of the usb devices, and I will read everything I
see in the kernel on it.  I'm trying to read the usb specification, but
it's quite large, and I'm not sure thats the best way to go about
learning.
