I've implemented this entry in USBFlags, and it succeeded in my original
requirement, which was adding the physical address to the USB registry
entry for each device. However, it is *also* appending the device serial
number to the key, giving entries such as:
7&147b5178&0&0857db02225543071004&0
one for each inserted device.
This is ultimately going to be a problem, since this device is a 12-slot
bulk USB tester/programmer; running at full bore, it could have some
15000 devices/day inserted into it... each with a different serial
number!! Imagine the size of the registry after six months of use (let
alone *years* of use!!).
(BTW, I looked at my workstation machine, which is *not* a tester and has
just been used for normal USB access, and there are literally HUNDREDS of
usb entries under the USBSTOR entry; there are 44 separate descriptors,
and each of those descriptors has from 1 to ... hmmm... ALOT!! of serial
number entries under it!! This seems like not that efficient of a
system, somehow... )
I'd *really* like to have ONLY the physical address registered, without
the serial number. Is that possible??
More specific questions:
- What if I set GlobalDisableSerNumGen=0 instead of 1, since this is
actually an Enable field, not a Disable field??
- Is there some way to create a generic IgnoreHWSerNum, along the lines
of
IgnoreHWSerNum*.*
??
