On the one side is Linux, where the usbnet driver is nicely providing an usb0 ethernet interface. On the FreeBSD side I have found that there is a similar driver called udbp, which has to be used with netgraph to turn some magic around and make it appear as if it where an ethernet interface. Let's put it short: netgraph sucks. The docs are incomprehensible. Seems like a networking fetishists toy but nothing really usable. So I have to ask if anybody ever got such a link running? Or would it just be easier to turn udbp.c in to if_udbp.c and forget about the reset?
