wine users - May 2005 - USB Not working

Hi,

I recently bought a PocketPC, HP rx3417. I tried using multisync with
the SynCE plugin, but was unable to understand how to get my device
working (it's something to do with the number of USB endpoints - most
devices only have 2 or 3, while mine has 4) On the SynCE website there
are some step-by-step tutorials on how to get devices with 4 endpoints
working, but they are difficult to understand.

So... I tried installing Micro$oft Active$ync with Wine. It installed
version 3.7.1 ok, but upon searching for the device, it said for usb,
`Not Supported'.

Is it possible to add USB functionality to WiNE?

Regards,
Matt

At this time, aside from basic kernel USB support
(basically, mouse & keyboard), there isn't support for
other devices in Wine.  Ok, there is some headway made
from webcams, and you can use your USB drive, but
that's about it.

Not being a developer myself, I've tried to encourage
capable (and willing) people on the wine-devel alias,
but so far, nothing really come to fruition.  Maybe,
someday it will, but my understanding is that you'd
need something like Driverloader incorporate into
Wine.
