Maybe your question is outdated, but since noone answered yet. - You can enhance our uhid driver - You can write your own driver - You can do raw control transfers via /dev/usb* - You can also do raw control and pipe trandfers if ugen takes the device - You can use libusb for portable (Linux, ...) device access via ugen -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
