USB is certainly supported in 4.4, however your device might not be. have a look in: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/graphics.html for alternatives to pencam and/or mention of your camera and support thereof. > My first thought was to try and compile under freebsd, but I get errors. If the source has not been written to be FreeBSD "aware" this is entirely possible, in which case it will need to be ported to FreeBSD. There is information on the FreeBSD web site about developing for USB : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/usb.html hope this helps. alex..
