Hi Hans,
I'm using FreeBSD on my normal laptop and my eeePC 900 gadget; my
Openmoko will arrive next week (hopefully) and so I'm interested and
willing to test your stuff (hoping that it is based on RELENG_7);

Concerning accessing the Openmoko through USB I thought that this is
possible, at least the Openmoko's Wiki says this:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#FreeBSD
or are you talking about running FreeBSD on the Openmoko at all (this
would be great news :-))
Thx
