Title:
08f7:0001 vstusb module should be blacklisted by default for this
device
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
The vstusb module included with this kernel has been removed from
later versions of the kernel because the manufacturer of the device
(Vernier Software & Technology) decided to go with a userspace
implementation based on libusb instead:
http://140.211.166.79/mailarchive/git-commits-
head/2010/3/3/27772/thread
Meanwhile, Ubuntu Lucid, which is a LTS release, includes this module.
Including this module creates problems for some people and doesn't
help anyone. It creates problems for people trying to work with this
device using libusb, because vstusb automatically binds to the device.
It does not help anyone, because the manufacturer does not document or
support the use of their device through vstusb. They distribute a beta
version of their software for linux, and this beta version uses
libusb, not vstusb. They provide documentation for third-party
developers on how to write software for their device, but this
documentation is for use with libusb, and in fact will not work on a
system that has vstusb installed.
For these reasons, I think vstusb should be blacklisted by default in
Lucid. This would make it possible for third-party developers to
successfully follow the manufacturer's documentation in writing
software to work with the device, and make that software work out of
the box. Otherwise users will be presented with hassles for the
lifetime of Lucid.
