I had submit a USB printer package last summer which doesn't seem to
have made it into CVS. I'm pretty sure it was working.
Andrew: Do you remember why this wasn't accepted?
I also started a mass storage driver, and have it near the top of my
list for when I get back working on eCos this summer.
I personally never found much use for HID's - unless you're actually
making a mouse, keyboard, or joystick. I know that most introductory USB
articles and tutorials show how to implement HID's, but it seems such a
shame, because others classes, like the serial one, are actually simpler
and much more useful. So, I probably won't look to implement a HID
driver myself.
Nor do I think I would start on ethernet over USB myself.
