Status of USB driver support?

[Dan Kegel]

Is http://wiki.winehq.org/USB up to date?

I could have sworn that Alexander Morozov
had submitted a new version of his patch,
but I can't find it.

Found it and added to the wiki page.

Has anybody tried the Jan 20 patch?

Please,

be more verbose.

What should we expect to work with your patch now? What kind of applications
can be get to work with your modifications when completed? What application
did you test? Anything more needed?

E.g. I have FTDI devices, using ftd2xx.dll. Can I expect to get them
working?

Thanks

This patch is made, first of all, for running applications protected with USB 
keys.

For using native USB driver should copy 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_<vid>&Pid_<pid> and 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services<driver_name> from Windows registry. 
The driver should be put in the directory specified by 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services<driver_name>\ImagePath. Also you need 
to have permissions to read/write to USB device.

For using HASP HL keys aksclass.sys should be placed in windows/system32 
instead of windows/system32/drivers. Also you should copy 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Hasp from Windows registry.

I tested last patch with Eutron SmartKey 3 (eusk3usb.sys, vid:pid 
073d:0025) and HASP HL 3.21 (aksusb.sys, akshasp.sys, aksclass.sys, 
0529:0001). Also SafeNet UltraPro (sntnlusb.sys, 04b9:0300) should work 
(tested with previous versions). For testing keys I used protected 
applications and simple test programs using API from key vendors.

I know nothing about these devices and I did not test them. But I think for 
working with them a driver is also necessary (not only dll).

To clarify, does your patch provide the general services on which all
(many) USB .sys drivers are built? or is it very specific to usb
security keys?

I'm wondering whether to try your patch with the following drivers.

Eg. I have a USB device.  One driver is used to bootload the device,
which then reappears with a different ID, and a second driver is used:

Vid_0a63&Pid_0001 ->

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DSLOADER]

"Start"=dword:00000003

  73,00,6c,00,6f,00,61,00,64,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,00,00
"DisplayName"="Prism Sound dScope Series III - uninitialised (dsloader.sys)"

Vid_0a63&Pid_0002 ->

Hi, first of all, thanks for your great effort in adding USB to Wine!

I have an app. needing a Marx Cryptobox USB, here drivers and info:

http://www.marx.com/rc1/en/support_downloads.php

I would like to help by testing it. I've tried to download the etherhack 
branch of wine sources and compile it, compiling succeeds, but the 
application behaves a bit erratically (graphic buttons are missing, for 
example), and this also makes it freeze.

I've also compiled the  master git branch, and that is instead working.

Now I kindly ask: is there a simple way to integrate the official branch 
with just the USB patches? I've tried to understand by reading wine wiki 
and git manual pages but couldn't figure it out. Some sort of link (or 
help, if you can) would be greatly appreciated.

If that USB Key is not of a supportable kind, then I apologize for asking.

Thank you,
Regards.
E.E.

You can use patches for wine-1.1.15 and git am.

I think you should try.
