This is much the same kind of notion as the USB-OTG "Targeted Peripherals List" (TPL) -- a whitelist of devices a given product vendor supports. (Since, as we know, so many USB peripherals are only marginally conformant, and OTG hosts might never get bugfixed once they get shipped. A whitelist can minimize support problems.) I'd much rather see such white/black list mechanisms be uniform across all of USB ... and I'm a bit puzzled what this would have to do with wireless USB. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
