I would recommend FreeBSD 8.0. Note that since the USB stack was reimplemented in 8.0 the source for it is in /usr/src/lib/libusb (if you want to trace the guts of it). This library has the same API as the "usual" libusb (it supports 0.1 and 1.0 APIs). I believe that things like device resets and re-enumeration and other edge cases are much more likely to work (ie at all ;) in 8.0 than older versions. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
