VSCP vscpworks

Connecting with old vscpworks over tcp/ip to >=14.0.0 vscpd

The interface list output of vscpd has been changed from 14.0.0 version. This is because now the GUID's is used to identify a channel. To be compatible with the deprecated vscpworks which relay on the driver names a device driver name should end with "|" (without the quotes), to make the parsing work for works. Here is an example for vscpl1drv-can4vscp

<!-- The can4vscp driver -->
<driver enable="true" 
   name="can4vscp|" 
   config="/dev/ttyUSB0" 
   flags="0" 
   translation="0x02" 
   path="/var/lib/vscp/drivers/level1/vscpl1drv-can4vscp.so" 
   guid="FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F5:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:02"
/>
Without this scan/config/boot will not work as they should.

vscpworks is available here as a Debian package for amd64 and only for amd64. It is deprecated and will not be updated anymore.
