I have no idea how well the host-bsd code actually works. I've used an OpenBSD (virtual machine) for build tests. Last time I tried it did not build on FreeBSD. No idea where NetBSD (or any other variant) stands. My long-term plan for usb-host support is to build on libusbx exclusively (merged in the 1.5 devel cycle), thereby offloading all portability issues to libusbx. Right now we are in a transition period, the old code is still around so you can flip back and forward between libusbx implementation and the os-specific bits for linux/bsd, mainly because a pretty recent linusbx version is required and also to ease regression testing. At some point in the future I want get rid of the old code though. FreeBSD reportly has its own libusb implementation, with a library interface compatible to libusbx. That should work with kFreeBSD too. I don't know what the other BSD variants are doing, but due to libusbx being used by alot of userspace usb apps/drivers I'd expect it is present in some form usable for qemu's host-libusb code ... cheers, Gerd
