No. The real solution means a complete rewrite of libusb0 compatibility layer,
and it will not happen before openSUSE 11.3.

For openSUSE 11.3, you can use a work around: Install libusb0 instead of
libusb-compat:

- Add repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware:/libusb0/
to your repositories and assign higher priority to it.

- then install libusb-0_1-4 from this repository.

It will completely fix all compatibility issues.

I did not want to return to the old libusb code for openSUSE 11.3, as these
issues affect only low percentage of users and it is easy to work-around them
by the steps above. The new libusb should have a bit better performance in most
other cases.
