i can confirm that the fix is working. i was having probelms using a HP
Photosmart camera with the PTP driver, was receiving timeouts...
been searching for a fix for 2 weeks, when Mariusz Woloszyn told me that
they found this bug... after editing by hand the libusb sources, and
recompiling, everything worked ok, without any other software update or
smtg else...
i did not notice any other problems since than, other than little
synchronization problems when stressing the camera/USB by turning it
off, then back on quickly and running gphoto2 --auto-detect in the same
time on a 400MHz (old!) machine... but i think this is not at all
related to the patch, which is working fine. i'd recommend patching the
current port of libusb so that this problem is fixed and posting a note
or smtg about this, as i've seen at least a dozen people having posted
related problems in various forums, from Germany to Australia... maybe a
notice on the gPhoto homepage would be a good idea, if there's any need
i can write a short description/how-to on this thema, publish it on my
page and somebody can put a link to it there...
anyway, thanks to all the people working on this!
and if i should write the how-to (only if there's interest in linking
from the gPhoto2-page to it), just mail me and let me know... if not,
it's futile work in my opinion, and i shall not do it... i could write a
fairly complete tutorial on using ur digital camera through the PTP
driver on FreeBSD, with all the probs i got into, and the fixes i
found... there are some things which need a bit of time/experience to
get a camera working here...
