Re: 2.5.61/usb: ioctl control transfer

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

I'm using the devfs from a userspace application.
the ioctl USBDEVFS_CONTROL is supposed to return
the number of bytes actualy read from a control
transfer.

but the return code i get is always what i specified
as length of the buffer.

since i'm using the same usb control transfers
as the windows drivers and get the same result
back (but return code is always wLength),
i wonder if there is a bug in the kernel. Anyone
has similiar problems?
