I've "appropriated" the 0xFFFE Vendor ID (Free Software Folks) and am
acting as the "IANA" in the Jon Postel tradition for Product ID's
under that Vendor ID.

Ask and ye shall receive ;)


FYI, here's the current "database" of assignments:

#ifndef _USRP_IDS_H_
#define _USRP_IDS_H_

#define	USB_VID_CYPRESS			0x04b4
#define	USB_PID_CYPRESS_FX2		0x8613


#define	USB_VID_FSF			0xfffe	  // Free Software Folks
#define	USB_PID_FSF_EXP_0		0x0000	  // Experimental 0
#define	USB_PID_FSF_EXP_1		0x0001	  // Experimental 1
#define	USB_PID_FSF_USRP		0x0002	  // Universal Software Radio Peripheral
#define	USB_PID_FSF_USRP_reserved	0x0003	  // Universal Software Radio Peripheral
#define	USB_PID_FSF_SSRP		0x0004	  // Simple Software Radio Peripheral
#define	USB_PID_FSF_SSRP_reserved	0x0005	  // Simple Software Radio Peripheral
#define USB_PID_FSF_LBNL_UXO            0x0018    // http://recycle.lbl.gov/~ldoolitt/uxo/
