Bug#585655: linux-image-2.6-686: 2xwireless 360 gamepads arent working. Please can hardware works under LINUX for once ?

[yellow <yellowprotoss@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.32+25
Severity: important

Hello,

Visibly you put in your website that the new kernels were updated and working better for microsoft wireless 360, and that one could use them.

Well one gamepad, yes it works ,but 2 identical gamepads arent working at all. 

I tried under hatari, zsnes, and genesis.

Please make sure that 2 identical gamepad are working under linux. 
It is crazy linux, there is never a single piece of hardware that works without any troubles, for most of the time. If you have an old PC, the kernel is not supposed to work either. Too new, it sure not working, and too old neither. Well kernels arent intended to be huge. I mean in 20 years, those kernel will eat the ram of old PC. 
I mean think a bit. Debian cannot share within the years the kernels having all hardware in there. If their drivers works, please make sure that they really work, and good.


So here the lusb output.
