USB support has been committed to FreeBSD Current. Feel free to switch it on (by uncommenting the last block in GENERIC) and report success or failure. Supported are mice, keyboards, generic devices (have not seen any company selling those, but we support them already!). Mice actually do something, keyboards and generic devices only give you silly output. BEWARE: This is preliminary. Do _not_ leave a USB device attached while running anything operational leaving the USB stack compiled in is already dangerous, although I have not seen big problems on my laptop yet. With Easter coming up, I've left a number of bugs in there. So let me know if you find one! The debugging output is bad, and we are going to solve that, to make it more selective, but for now, 'a lot' is the only setting for it. Keep me informed: n_hibma@www.etla.net Cheers, Nick P.S.: Mouse support, the road to success: (make kernel with ums in there and reboot) (start the usbd daemon, reprobing the bus once in while) usbd (or cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/usbd; make; ./usbd) (plug in mouse) mknod /dev/ums0 c 138 0 moused -p /dev/ums0 The major number might change in the future.
