<br></div>To implement a timout first, an event is needed. The standar state "when device is attached...". This is a physical event, so at this time the user space needs an event from kernel space, to know that something should be done (start timout, show message or anything else). The problem is that the only message is "unable to enumerate USB device on port...", but this one can't be trapped frome u/mdev (I thought)<br><div><br>

Yes, you are. Although I suspect the "standard" you're quoting is<br>
confusing them as well....<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div></div>
