That's *totally* device dependent. The things a driver needs to do to ensure consistency for a 40Gbit ethernet adapter are *totally* different from that USB memory stick.
Not to be "chatty", but that "USB memory stick" is one of the most complex USB devices out there from a protocol standpoint.
Meanwhile, the 40Gbit interfaces is (comparatively) simple. And I wasn't giving examples of simple/complex, it was "two totally different sets of challenges" ;) But thanks for adding all the info on things that actual device drivers have to deal with...
