Folks, Some were chatting and think that adding some features to usb might be nice. Mentioned specifically was fixing it so it loads the right driver on the fly. :-) Also I was thinking we might be able to use mostly or all devd to catagorize devices in some sensable fashion, thus making the former, easier. Given overlap with NetBSD I was thinking extending with as little modifcation would be easier. So: 1) Any thoughts? 2) Anyone think we should start a project for this? If everyone would like, I can summarize what people say into something sensable and put it somewhere? Or if anyone else would like to... The general idea I have to rationalize the effort is that FreeBSD is now well equipped to adapt to the desktop. Great USB support is a very good step in the direction. Of course its a server, so I'm not sure how much effort is appropriate. Thus question 1)... :-) -- Adam Migus - Research Scientist Network Associates Laboratories (http://www.nailabs.com) TrustedBSD (http://www.trustedbsd.org) FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org)
