I believe he's not; the paragraph about USB and the one about FireWire are separate ones. And his point that kernel isolation of the modem is flawed because of properties of the Linux kernel seem accurate, though I don't have the expertise to confirm that (you'd need to ctrl+f "kernel", not "USB", since the point is a general one)
- kop316 5y agoSo why bring in FireWire at all to the argument? Why not give USB examples? Giving the benefit of the doubt, the writing is extremely unclear and, to me, gives the impression of a comparison between the two. Same with referring to the other article, there's a general link to another article, where the reader is left guessing where they are making the point. To me, if you reference an article in this manner: "Linux kernel USB stack which is not a strong barrier as shown in the Linux article" I would expect the linked article to reference....well the USB stack, or USB in general. Or reference what section you mean, or quote it and bring it in to the article.
