Is there a particular reason why we are setting the alternate<br>
interface to 0 in drivers/libusb.c?<br>
<br>
I have seen some documentation which indicates that this should<br>
already done by the OS when the device is enumerated. If that is the<br>
case, then there is no reason why we should hardcode the alternate<br>
interface to 0.<br></blockquote><div><br>iirc, this is indeed done automatically on Linux (and possibly OSX) when there's only one interface (the same goes for the config). but it's not the case on windows.<br> </div>

If I remove the following code, tripplite_usb seems to work*:<br>
<br>
/* set default interface */<br>
usb_set_altinterface(udev, 0);<br></blockquote><div><br>prefer to flag it for windows (#ifdef WIN32...) so that we don't face a problem when porting to windows.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Any objections to removing this? Can I get some volunteers to try this<br>
out on their non-OS X systems?<br>
<br>
I am using libusb-0.1.12 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.<br>
<br>
* I did have to monkey with a codeless kext in order to allow libusb<br>
to claim the device. However, it doesn't seem like OS X allows you to<br>
bypass the claim operation anymore.<br></blockquote></div><br clear="all">I'll be interested in the result since usbhid-ups, bcmxcp_usb and richcomm are in the same case.<br>I'll try to make an OS X test on usbhid-ups with an Eaton...<br>
