OS X OSBundleRequired and kext dependency issue



OK...

I've seen this mentioned here a couple of times before, but it's my turn now. First off, yes, I have gone through the list archives and not found a good answer to this.

I have a driver for a USB composite device that needs to load a boot time. Problem is, the device is dependent on a kext which had it's OSBundleRequired property set to something other than Root (in this case, Network-Root).

How?

The solutions that I can see are:
1) Modify the dependency. This really isn't a good idea as it's not mine.


	2) Tell the client that he has to wait until...

3) I split the driver into two separate kexts: one to load at Root time to grab the device before the USB composite driver does and the other that gets loaded later on (Network-Root time) and does all communication through the previously loaded kext.

...or is there another option?  Some sort of codeless kext, perhaps?

-Rob
