Subject: Re: "lsusb -vvv" returns "unrecognized" - why?

usbutils-0.82 has problem with its HID parser so it does not recognize HID Class Descriptor and it will report something like the following.
      ** UNRECOGNIZED: 09 21 11 01 00 01 22 43 00
This only affect Ubuntu 9.10 as it comes with usbutils-0.82. Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 10.04 are not affected.

usbutils 0.86 works. Actually usbutils 0.73 and usbutils-0.83 and later
works. Latest version works as well.

Ubuntu 10.04 comes with usbutils-0.86 so it works.

Just look at the lsusb -vvv output for the HID device in the following pages and you will find quite similar "lsusb -vvv" output which contains "** UNRECOGNIZED: 09 21 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx". 09 21 is for HID Class Descriptor.

Great, thanks for letting me know. 0.83 fixed the HID descriptor
parsing bugs in 0.82, so this all makes sense.

And yes, sf.net doesn't have the latest versions, the last time I tried,
I couldn't add a new release there. I should just go take down the
downloads from there entirely soon.

thanks,
