Hi Greg,

I assumed that there were few to no USB thermometers in use with Linux.
Looking at the kernel, there seems to be Cypress USB thermometer driver
listed, but it's for a hobby project that isn't actually a product.
Based on the cytherm driver, I figured support was to be added to the
kernel.

I'd be happy to read up on libusb/usbfs.  Thanks for introducing it.
For anyone who wants DirecTEMP support before a port to libusb/usbfs is
done (no ETA), feel free to use this driver.

Thanks,
Chris
