I'm thinking about writing a driver for a usb video capture card, but I've run into a strange problem early on. When I plug the card into windows and use UsbSnoop to record usb bus messages passed to the card from windows and the driver, I see this (in part):

Code:
  
  ConfigurationDescriptor = 0x897662c0 (configure)
  ConfigurationDescriptor : bLength             = 9
  ConfigurationDescriptor : bDescriptorType     = 0x00000002
  ConfigurationDescriptor : wTotalLength        = 0x000000bd
  ConfigurationDescriptor : bNumInterfaces      = 0x00000001
  ConfigurationDescriptor : bConfigurationValue = 0x00000001
  ConfigurationDescriptor : iConfiguration      = 0x00000000
  ConfigurationDescriptor : bmAttributes        = 0x00000080
  ConfigurationDescriptor : MaxPower            = 0x000000fa
  ConfigurationHandle     = 0x88fd3568
  Interface[0]: Length            = 76
  Interface[0]: InterfaceNumber   = 0
  Interface[0]: AlternateSetting  = 0
  Interface[0]: Class             = 0x000000ff
  Interface[0]: SubClass          = 0x00000001
  Interface[0]: Protocol          = 0x00000001
  Interface[0]: InterfaceHandle   = 0x88da6f80
  Interface[0]: NumberOfPipes     = 3
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : MaximumPacketSize = 0x00000200
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : EndpointAddress   = 0x00000081
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : Interval          = 0x00000000
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : PipeType          = 0x00000002 (UsbdPipeTypeBulk)
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : PipeHandle        = 0x88da6f9c
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : MaxTransferSize   = 0x0000ffff
  Interface[0]: Pipes[0] : PipeFlags         = 0x00000000
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : MaximumPacketSize = 0x00000200
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : EndpointAddress   = 0x00000001
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : Interval          = 0x00000000
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : PipeType          = 0x00000002 (UsbdPipeTypeBulk)
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : PipeHandle        = 0x88da6fbc
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : MaxTransferSize   = 0x0000ffff
  Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : PipeFlags         = 0x00000000
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : MaximumPacketSize = 0x00000200
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : EndpointAddress   = 0x00000082
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : Interval          = 0x00000000
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : PipeType          = 0x00000002 (UsbdPipeTypeBulk)
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : PipeHandle        = 0x88da6fdc
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : MaxTransferSize   = 0x0000ffff
  Interface[0]: Pipes[2] : PipeFlags         = 0x00000000
Using a program like usbview, it looks like there is one configuration (1) with one interface (0), with four alternate settings. Each alternate setting has the endpoints shown above, 1 in/out and 2 out.

Linux is a completely different story. I still see one configuration with one interface with four alternate settings, but the endpoints are different. There are no endpoints in alt setting 0, and 6 each in alt setting 1-3. Also the manufacturer and product codes are 0 in linux and non-zero under Windows. Finally, I can't bulk read/write to/from any of the endpoints under linux. I just get error 110, timeout.

I thought at first that the windows driver could be loading firmware which changes the reported endpoints, but the above UsbSnoop output was generated from the moment the device was plugged into the windows computer, and it already displays an endpoint 0x82.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what could be going on? Thanks!

Here is lsusb for the device as root:
