It's a closed source binary driver only, but I almost got it working anyway using some library hacks. I've written down some of my findings on http://shapeshifter.se/projects/upek/ Since their driver is using libusb it should be quite easy for them to create a native binary for FreeBSD. I haven't contacted UPEK about it yet though. Fredrik Lindberg
