Hello,
We continue getting reports that brltty happens to get installed on some
box for some reason, and the generic USB probing interferes with
non-braille devices. We have notably received:
“for example it grabbed my USB<->1wire
adapter which had "manufacturer" and "product" field customized:
Device: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 8
idVendor 0x0403 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
idProduct 0x6001 FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
bcdDevice 6.00
iManufacturer 1 MERA-PROJEKT
iProduct 2 USB <-> 1Wire (MP00202)
iSerial 3 MPYRNJYY
bNumConfigurations 1
”
Couldn't Brltty use the iManufacturer field (and perhaps iProduct field
too) to whitelist only devices which have the expected iManufacturer?
