MikeM97 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Hello there. I've been missing a while as much as I'm in college and actually developing Linux as much as I can. There's only one thing that has been giving me headaches since I've started,the .INF drivers from Windows-oriented devices can't do their job in a Linux system. I agree that is quite wrong to port Windows drivers on Linux,but,it's the only chance to ever use my Linux PC as a primary tool. Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

I'm not sure there are any suitable libraries for this, unless you develop them yourself. I could be wrong though. What has Google said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask on a few other forums I frequent, and I'll ask some other devs I know. MikeM97 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though,the lib-usb won't be the same as Windows USB MTK ones. Any chances for that little project comeback?
