The existing unusual_devs entry for the UCR-61S2B appears to have too
wide a revision range. It matches at least one device that doesn't
respond to the initialization sequence. Perhaps the sequence needs to
be updated, or perhaps something else can be done. For now, this patch

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.
We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which
includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows
driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).
The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

After some further testing with my flash device I realised that our current
probe doesn't always work (e.g. when no media is inserted).
Now that Peter Chubb's patch has simplified the detection of 99% of the HP CD
writers out there, we have a much smaller range of hardware to work with on
the shared device ID, so it should be possible to try some of the previous
probe options again: we just need to find another tester with a USBAT2-based HP
CD writer.
This patch hardcodes the flash detection until someone comes along with one of
these obscure CD drives. Note that these devices are extremely rare, so even if
we can't ever find a decent probe method, at least we will be supporting almost
all of the USBAT-based hardware out there.

This patch adds another usb-storage subdriver, which supports two fairly

This driver was written by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> -- he notes
that he wrote this driver without specs, however a vendor-supplied GPL
driver for the previous generation of products ("sma03") did prove to be
quite useful, as did the sddr09 driver which also has to deal with
low-level physical block layout on SmartMedia.
The original patch has been reformed by me, as it clashed with the
libusual patches.
We really need to consolidate some of this common SmartMedia code, and

Looks okay to me. Given that the previous entry uses the full 0000 -

I was not removing 1203, it's just the extension of the bcd range. You are

I didn't remove it, I changed it to "based on...". Because I changed

No, the patch was ok, but I agree it looks strange. It's not very

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
