The new USB stack of FreeBSD, a deeply rewritten version of the previous one, will be committed into the main source tree. The previous one is mainly ported from NetBSD while the new stack's programming interface is quite different than the previous one. Thus, porting driver from NetBSD/OpenBSD maybe will consume more (especially consumed time to debug) than writing a new one for FreeBSD, though I believe the new stack is better organized than the previous/original one from NetBSD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From Beijing, China
