That would be called libusb. The libusb V1_0_DEVEL branch would be the prime candidate for this "wiring up", but is however incomplete. libusb (<=0.1.10a) does not support asynchronous communications and does not have an api to deal with isochronous usb transfers as well. I've been messing around with the ohci-hc / libusb 1.0 connection, albeit slowly. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
