We have several. The QuickUSB is a board that lets you do other things. It doesn't do anything by itself. What are you trying to DO with the QuickUSB? Linux comes with kernel drivers for many different types of USB devices, based on the USB device class: mass storage, CD, audio, keyboard, mouse, etc. For devices that do not fall into one of the standard classes, there is a "generic" driver available. This is the driver that libusb uses. Unless you have replaced the firmware, your QuickUSB board will be like this. You don't need to disconnect the standard driver, because there isn't one. You just start using it. It is difficult to do any USB work with VMware. As I understand it, VMware only supports USB 1.1 devices. It doesn't support high-speed devices at all. If you are trying to do real work with this, you should run Linux on a real PC -- Tim Roberts, ti...@pr... Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. |
