Re: vid&pid problems in usb_probe()

[dongzai007]

Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have copied all the header files in 
"linux2.4.18/include/linux" to "/usr/include/linux". I am sure that
there is no difference between "linux2.4.18/include/linux" and "/usr/include/linux"

I build this driver like this:

#gcc -c usb.c
#insmod -f usb.o  //due to version dismatch, i should use -f

then plug a usb device.


Could you help me test this program? Do you have an usb device? You can write a program 
like this, and test if it can report the right vid & pid.
I downloaded a new kernel 2.6.5, after i started with the new kernel, lots of modules
can not be loaded, so i changed back to 2.4.18, then I found my X-windows can not
start. Did this error have something to do with this unstablity?
