As consequence of the possible non unique device ID matching in case
of USB devices I have talked with Stefan to find a solution for this
problem. Unfortunately it might be time consuming to implement and
maintain the suggestion but at least the result of the brain storming
should be available here:
* The idea is to have sub-vendor/device ID's as additional ID's
provided along with the standard ID's
* The matching of vendor/device sub-vendor/device has to identify
a device uniquely. A device which doesn't require a sub-vendor/device
ID should provide the standard ID's as sub- ID's too
* The sub- ID's are self created ones and are the result of a detection
magic which might be different for each device which we can't identify
uniquely according to the provided ID's. I don't know if it is possible
to identify a device uniquely according to other parameters than the
ID's. We were thinking of the product name or other information provided
by the device itself
The downside of all this is the non generic base. Each "problematic" device
needs some code to become identified and get a sub-ID pair assigned.
Just some thoughts
Marcus
