Hi, I would really like the kernconf to stay in one file. What would help is a more well structure in the GENERIC and extensive documentation for what a specific module is good for and what depends on it and what it depends on. I did also try the usb2 stack a while ago and got a bit confused. :) regards PS: Thanks to all Devs for the pure awesomness of FreeBSD!
