USB and Palm connection problem

[Joel Hammer]

I insmod'ed visor.o. Now I get a message saying that the device is not claimed
by any active driver. The reference you gave me says I need an updated
visor.c. Do I have to recompile this thing? I suppose so.

I will have to sleep on this and go to my day job tomorrow before I can
spend more time on this.

But, this is progress. At least I am learning a thing or two about usb.

Thanks for the information.

Joel
