Hello,

I am from the company "Code Mercenaries GmbH" from Germany. We have 
some USB HID devices wich work with Linux.
Since kernel version 2.6 our default products will be included in the 
kernel.

Devicedetails
VendorID: 0x07C0
ProductIDs: 0x1500, 0x1501, 0x1511, 0x1512, 0x1503
Devicename: iowarrior

Now we have some new custom product IDs but this two new devices get 
no node in dev/usb/ , but I can find the with "lsusb".
If I run "modinfo iowarrior" there will be 5 alias (with the default 
pIDs) .

The two new pIDs are: 0x158A, 0x158B

I have not much experiance with linux (I work with Ubuntu 12.04). What 
have be done to get the device nodes to work with them?
Have I add some rules? Or have I edit the iowarrior.ko?

Argh, sorry, I misread your email and went off on one.

You will indeed need to "edit iowarrior.ko".  I.e. change the C source 
code to include the new pIDs, recompile, test, get patches merged into 
the mainline kernel etc :).

It's also possible to test new devices with an old driver, i.e. before 
you modify it.  Possible instructions: http://www.ha19.no/usb/
