(But I'm > optimistic, now that the device attaches.) The uscanner driver for USB1 is very simple and does not do a set config index. HPS: set config index is not guarantueed to work on all devices. It's also normally not necessary, unless you want to change the configuration. There are of course devices that require it. An option is to ignore failure to set the configuration if the configuration index is the same as the current one. Or ignore the set configurationo if setting the same index unless a force flag is passed. Welcome to cheapo hardware. When you have the protocol analyzer you might want to check whether Windows sends set config index commands in all cases, or just when needed. Nick -- AnyWi Technologies
