DOlson Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I just got my free A-Key in the mail today (took a few weeks to get it) and it doesn't do squat in Linux... You can order your own free A-Key from here: http://www.authenex.com/ I wrote in a support request about Linux, but no answer so far... I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this, and if there was any way to utilize it in Linux? I'd write my own driver/software, if I knew how to program USB device drivers...

liquidzoo Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 That's an interesting little device. I ordered one, just for the hell of it. If we can get it working in Linux, that will be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I started reading the PDF about writing USB device drivers... But we would need the protocol information about this thing, or we'd need to reverse engineer it... Either way, I don't think I will be able to do more than make a module that loads and picks up the device, if I can even do that... But I might just give it a try... Here's the output in dmesg, in case anyone wanted to see it: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x7a6/0x1580) is not claimed by any active driver. Well, if we get a few people who want to start a sourceforge project or an icculus.org project (assuming Ryan approves the idea), then we could give it a go... but I don't know how useful I would be.
