[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] flasher does not detect device anymore

[From: Detlef Schmicker]

After hours of searching I found:

newer linux kernels need a patch for flasher-2.0

please add a patched version for download

from wiki::

A fix for this is to run the following command: 

perl -pi -e 's-/proc/bus/usb-/dev/bus/usb\000-;' -i.backup <flasher>

where <flasher> is the location of your (already checked) flasher linux
binary. The original image will be backed up into flasher.backup.
