Hi, over the last years I have on and off worked on an updated LinuxKPI USB support. Having managed to get a blocker out of the way I beleive (still need to do gcc univeser builds for the very specific compiler options) I'll try to extract the changes from my branch so some of the USB people can help polishing this. The main problem is to disconnect the LinuxKPI USB structure fields from the native USB structures as otherwise we'd start pulling halve of LinuxKPI into the native USB stack, which is a no-go. I am at least aware of disconnect/detach panics I still had when I last worked on this earlier this year. In order to sort some of this and given I just had one box of USB dongles in my hands I started to catalog some here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/BjoernZeeb/USBWifi (note: I am not adding old natively supported ones to that page anymore) If you happen to have some modern unsupported USB Wireless dongles lying around please let me know the details (if the chipset is not on list yet) as I am looking to extend my stock for the various chipsets to be able to test them. Probably best to drop me a private email. Lots of health, /bz -- For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. [Mat. 24:24-25]
