Seems like the long-term solution would be to add a quirk (if at all possible) to ignore the storage part. Looking at usb_quirk(4) this might help: UQ_MSC_ALT_IFACE_1 but I'm not certain. Anyway, take a look at the manpage, because it's possible to set a quirk in loader.conf. -- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
