Thanks for your kindly support.

I have checked the driver of USB device on Linux  Linux uses the zaurus driver for that device. What I want to know whether such driver has been ported to FreeBSD.


Thanks
Regards

You need to paste the dmesg output so we have a chance to see what the actual device in question is..
The output of usbdevs -v would be useful.

If you are running a GENERIC kernel (which has all of the USB drivers loaded in it already) then it would seem FreeBSD doesn't support your hardware.
