Little update on that one: Support for USB is being developed for Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD. There is a separate effort, done by several companies, and lead by DEC to create a Universal Interface to it, a so-called USBDI. Lennart Augustsson is doing the work for NetBSD and I was supposed to the implementation for FreeBSD. I have a stack that does something, but couldn't yet be bothered to have a look at the USBDI. Lennart is much further in that he is able to run a number of different devices off it, with control, interrupt, bulk AND isochroneous transfers. He is at the moment rewriting his code, because he did not like the looks of it. Linux is a separate effort due to licensing (GNU) and done by Inaky Perez Gonzalez. At the moment, my implementation has stopped completely due to lack of time. It is however intended to either port Lennart's source or build my own stack (of which the lower parts, UHCI/HC virtual hub, have already been implemented) within the next few weeks. I'm supposed to be the point of contact for the FreBSD implementation, so if you want do anything or want more information, just let me know.
