Question about pipes and ugen

Right now, when the usb stack opens a pipe, it resets the pipe using
the ClearFeature(Stall) message.  This appears to work great for the
vast majority of usb devices that use things like ugen.  However,
there are some that do not like this at all.  Fidora Core 1 Linux, for
example, never seems to send these reset messages.  Consequently,
there are some devices that work well on Linux, but fail utterly on
FreeBSD.

>From my reading of the standard, it appears that FreeBSD is doing
standards conforming things.  Can anybody confirm this?  Even if it is
standards conforming, is there a desire for FreeBSD to not do this?

Thanks much

Warner
