I suspect that it is the AppleUSBComposite driver matching to your device
and the IOUSBHIDDriver matching to the interface. VPC sees them but when it
tries to open the interface, it fails -- because the IOUSBHIDDriver is not
playing nice and releasing the interface when asked to do so.
Your solution will be to create 2 vendor specific drivers -- one that
matches to the device and one that matches to the interface. Maybe just the
interface will work -- I'm not 100% sure. See the examples in
/Developer/Examples/Kernel/IOKit/usb/VendorSpecificDriver for guidance on
how to do that. Having those drivers will prevent the composite and hid
drivers to match to that device and VPC will be able to claim them.
Good luck,
