Right I understand. I was hoping we could use libusb

implementation issues...maybe it will still be of help to someone.
AFAICS libusb bypasses the pnp manager and uses direct access to USB
devices. This is not what we need for ReactOS.
Right now its a hardcoded hack to SetupDiGetClassDevsA
that looks for
the iPods Vendor ID by talking to the /proc filesystem. If it finds the
device it does some other magic to access it. In the future we were
going to add some enumeration for other mass storage devices. I was
hoping we could make it generic enough that ReactOS and Wine could both
use the same code for device identification at least on the userspace
side because if I understand it correctly all USB devices under any OS
use the same ID system. I dont know how the other hardware such as PCI
and friends work.
Anyway there is not much to what we(codeweavers) already have and I
agree I dont think working together on this is going to be much help.
Pehaps we can use the same internal device tree representation but different
ways to create it.
