At the moment, I don't believe there's anyone in the FreeBSD camp active on USB.

Is there a mailing list or other forum where one might listen and perhaps contribute to the process? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
