Openmoko phones and USB on FreeBSD

[Hans Petter Selasky]

Hi Matthias,

The OpenMoko distributions I've tried so far does not come with CDC-ethernet 
like default. The network page you are referring to assumes that the OpenMoko 
software is programmed for CDC ethernet on the device side.

No, I'm not talking about FreeBSD on the OpenMoko itself.
