Preventing IOUSBHIDDriver From Claiming a Device



Hey-

I am trying to get my Linux application that uses libusb to work under
OSX.  Unfortunatly the USB device it uses is defined as a HID, and
libusb cannot claim it because IOUSBHIDDriver already has.

But, I found one thread that gives hope that I can get IOUSBHIDDriver to
let go of the device:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/usb/2004/Mar/msg00064.html

It suggests using a kext with a higher probe score to keep
IOUSBHIDDriver from grabbing the device.  Today is the first time I have
ever used a Mac for development and kernel extensions seem like a huge
topic.  So if someone can point me in the right direction it would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Brandon Philips
