I think the API design issues have been hashed out already, but I have a few further questions: - Why create a Linux USB emulation layer for FreeBSD? The USB interface is only minor portion of a USB driver, there's the whole other "interface with the device type subsystem" that you have to deal with also. Unless you are going to make a block/char/video/audio/etc interface also for FreeBSD? - You are aware of the licensing issues if you try to link BSD with GPL code and redistribute it, right? It doesn't bother me that the BSD code will then be covered by the GPL, but you might want to be aware of the potential issues others might have with that. If you find ways that you feel the Linux USB api can be changed to be better, please feel free to send patches, we are always looking for better ways to do things. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
