No, aue, rue and other's implement vendor-specific protocols, while this 
one implements generic one described in the USB specs. Yet, they are 
pretty close to each other, so that merging them all into a single 
mega-driver (like the one Linux has) certainly makes sense in the long 
run. 80% (if not more) of the code in them is the same.
