Please include these patches is future versions of openobex and openobex-apps (although the apps patch only adds usb support to obex_test command it's still useful for, well, testing purposes) I've tested the patches on RHEL 4 + openobex rebuilt from FC4 and they do actually work. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Apply the patches in the url above 2. Watch file transfers fly :) Additional info:
The author states: >> The patches in the current form are not suitable for including into OpenOBEX, because they change the library API in a sub-optimal way. I'm planning to write a proper version soon. << If you want these patches, just try to get them upstream please, so all distributions can benefit from it. Thx
There is now a new upstream release of openobex (version 1.1) with USB support included so perhaps it's time to update :)
