The right thing happens in the end.  There is no need for drivers
on some interfaces, and they must be used on others (eg ones that
implement the USB modem protocol or the various USB to serial chips).

That makes it clearer.  It is still not remotely like two hours work.
(It may be for you however).  I'm not going to implement all this
but will point anyone else who does want at it.  (The return on
having to learn all this IOKit stuff, Objective C and how to map
Objective C into Python is way too low.)

There is a USB Prober under /Developer/Applications/Utilities
(BTW I have found everything you mentioned under a different path
than you said so I don't know if you were typing them from memory
or have a different dev kit).

Email me the device dump of the device from the USB Prober.  You'll
probably want to do that on the bitpim-devel list.
