Hi Dwaine, I don't understand your email too well, sorry. Many USB devices take a while before they are usable, because first you need to load some firmware into them. MOD_INC_USE_COUNT will not slow down initialisation. It is to do with unloading the driver, and stops the driver being unloaded when it would be dangerous to do so.
All the best,
