Greetings! Can anybody assist me with URLs/docs/whatever how to access USB device from linux application running on freebsd 8.2? I'm trying to get worked scanner which have binary-only linux driver for SANE. The first trouble is that linux libusb searches for usb device entries in /dev/bus/usb/<bus-no>/<dev>, and so it cannot search freebsd's /deb/usb/n.m.k device list. So, ok, it can be patched. But, there is a question: if I'll make patch to change such behavior (change usb_os_find_devices and usb_os_find_busses in linux.c from linusb-0.1 sources) and rebuild libusb as it is for linux environment -- is it will be enough linuxulator? I mean, will linuxulator translate correctly usb related ioctl calls? On the other hand, maybe I am going wrong way at all? :) Maybe there is a simple solution? -- Antuan Avdioukhine Tech.S.A.
