Fix: Revert back to not have this option enabled. It is deprecated anyways and applications need to be fixed sooner than later. -Stefan From 8214b4a6265c27289e7c4166357a95faeb1ed7aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:50:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: [Config] Disable CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488274 This option is incompatible with the udev in karmic and lucid, leading to failure to load firmware files for various pieces of USB kit. It is also now deprecated and going away very shortly. We should therefore re-disable it. More details are in the thread below: http://markmail.org/message/3mw5yw465qmxgnwp Although older versions of Virtualbox and VMWare needed it we do not believe that current versions use it.
