No, all of the headers and support is in place for it already, but
someone needs to port the ehci controller code from NetBSD.

Don't think so, but I am fairly sure it's being worked on.

Does -CURRENT support USD 2.0 yet ?

 - Alex



I believe that is already the case.

If it doesn't find a ps/2 keyboard it will assume USB and wait until
such a device is attached. (Which really sucks when your PS/2 keyboard
isn't detected, but I digress...)

usbd is run by sysinstall when it starts and I believe the right stuff
is in the kernel to support mice as well, but I don't think it is 100%
integrated (eg with the mouse setup widget).

Note that these observations are based on -stable sources, so YMMV :)

Support for USB devices out-of-the-box in -current?

2002-06-12 Thread Jordan Breeding

Hello,

  By the time -current turns into -release later this year will FreeBSD
have support in sysinstall and in the GENERIC kernel and have all the
right settings so that systems which only have USB keyboards and USB
mice can work out-of-the-box even during installation from the CDROM?  I
don't know if it is really considered an issue or not but an increasing
number of systems ship with USB keyboards these days and it would be
nice to be able to use it during sysinstall if no PS/2 keyboard is
found.  Thanks for any information about whether this will be a reality
in 5.0-RELEASE.

Jordan
