[Libusb-devel] Send control message to device captured by usbhid driver

[Brian N. <br...@tw...>]

Running Linux, a recent 2.6 kernel.

I have a HID device that is currently handled by the usbhid driver, and 
I'd like to keep it that way.  Is it possible to send a control message 
to that device?  I can find the device on the bus, usb_open gets me a 
valid handle, usb_set_configuration returns fine, but 
usb_claim_interface does not, which I'm assuming is because the usbhid 
driver has captured the device already.  Consequently, usb_control_msg 
fails.

Am I missing something in my order of steps here?
