get usb device descriptor through ioctl?

[thomas nivelet <lugarbleiz%gmail.com@localhost>]

Opening each endpoint (/dev/ugen0.xy) give me the same error... I read
in the man that ugen is linked to device which don't have a driver but
the dfu device I try to access (an OpenMoko Neo Freerunner) is linked
against umodem0 and the other usb device connected to my computer are
linked against umass0 and uvideo0, but trying to create this device on
/dev with MAKEDEV give the error "unknown device". During my research
on the web before writing to this ML, I've learned that
umodem0/umass0/uvideo0 are device created by the kernel so it's normal
to not have access to them from /dev but I don't know the alternative
to access this device...
