You *might* find useful information or help here: |

I think wireshark can be used to sniff the usb(buss). |

if you use XP/vista, then look here: |

You might also find another useful software package in |
| 24 |
/usr/portage/net-analyzer |
| 25 |
to help you diagnose and figure out what to do with usb. |

In all operating systems there are generic device drivers |
| 29 |
that work for different classes of usb devices. So, your device, |
| 30 |
just might work with a general purpose (class) usb driver, |
| 31 |
but it's no guarantee. If it does, you might find a way |
| 32 |
to use either a generic usb driver or a vendor specific |
| 33 |
usb driver under windows. |
