Description Colin Leroy 2004-03-03 00:02:20 UTC

lsusb displays vendorId/productId the wrong way on bigendian machines. 
For example, for my HP printer, while /proc/bus/usb/devices displays 0x03f0 / 0x0704, and I have to put these numbers in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap for my script to work, lsusb displays 0xf003 / 0x0407.
Here's a patch that fixes it. I've sent it to the author listed in usbutil package's AUTHOR file, but no answer so far.

Reproducible: Always

I checked in a slightly modified patch. It will be on the rsync-mirrors in a few hours. If it doesn't work, please reopen this bug.
