A driver for this kind of device should be implemented in userspace using  
the libusb library. You will probably only need small changes to the  
hw_atilibusb.c code to make it work.

As maintaining kernel drivers is much work and it's more complicated to  
install the drivers for users, there is a common understanding that all  
new drivers should be implemented using libusb whenever possible. That's  
why I can't accept your patch in the current form.

Hi
I am trying to compile an Archlinux package integrating this patch.
But I am facing a problem while compiling :
"No rule for building 'all' target" or something like this because I am translating from french.

In fact the Makefile is empty but the Makefile.am is good according to similar driver makefile.am.

Did you got this error before ?

EDIT : Ok. It was just an autoconf problem. I have compiled and installed the patched version. BUT it seems that something is missing. The lirc_awusb kernel module is correctly built and working properly ( pushing buttons send events on /dev/lirc0 ). But irrecord is not working correctly neither lircd with supplied lircd.conf. After further research, I am facing a problem : the patched version should permit using an "awusb" driver ( others drivier or for example alsa_usb, default, usbx, uart2 etc... ). But when I specify the driver I want to use with the -H parameter, it tells me that the driver is unknown. Am I missing something ?
