All these things have a common denominator: proprietary USB drivers. It's fine that wine can use USB scanners/cameras/printers etc, which can be interfaced though native Linux drivers/libraries, but these are almost always usable directly from Linux, while those proprietary devices aren't. Is there any chance that wine will progress in this area ? I'm ready to supply a bounty for a volunteer making some progress here.
We (Etersoft) are realized USB support in wine via libusb and do many fixes in ntoskrnl.exe to load and run proprietary drivers for protection keys (like HASP). AS I know, this improvements is not acceptable by Alexandre. If anyone is interested to consult us to do our code more acceptable, you are welcome.
Hi! It sounds really very interesting! Is your work accessible as a patch to the current wine tree, or as a git branch somewhere ? I would like to test it with some of my apps (Nokia software, programmers etc...) and give you a feedback, whether it works. Do you know, why Alexandre is not accepting your improvements ?
With regards, Pavel Troller
