My idea for NetBSD/OpenBSD/Dragonfly is that one emulates FreeBSD on these systems. If you look here: http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/sources/module/ You will see a FreeBSD kernel emulator for NetBSD 2/3. It supports the most important things found in the FreeBSD kernel. I have some plans to extend it so that it also covers the USB subsystem. It would work with many USB device drivers, but not all. --HPS
