Hello Everybody! :D :D :D I changed from Windows to Ubuntu a short time ago. Under Win I programmed microcontrollers with Microchip PicKit2 programmer, which has USB connection. After I installed Ms .NET Framework 2.0 with winetricks, the Wine enablet do install PicKit2 program; it runs, but can not wiev / handle programmer, which I plug in to an USB port. Please help me. Have any USB support for Wine ? (I use W 1.1.6). ThanX forwardly: fejesg HU fejesg at pr.hu

Hi. If you want to access USB directly from Windows program, you have to use some virtualization software. For example, VMWare Server 2.0 (freeware, but not open-source; downoad from vmware.com) and VirtualBox 2.0 (full edition, not OSE edition; see virtualbox.org). Both of these programs have USB 2.0 support (VMWare is _probably_ more stable, but VirtualBox's interface is much more friendly for desktop use); Of course, to use Windows in virtualized environment, you should obtain a valid Windows license from Microsoft (if you've used Windows before, you probably already have one, don't you? :-)). However, maybe there is some native Linux software to program microcontrollers? Did you try to find such software? It's better to use native programs, if available.
