Hi,

Sorry, I see you refer to the summer of code idea document.

Do you have any links to some previous USB work you've done?

The FreeBSD USB stack is I/O-vectored while the Linux USB one is not. 
Also the FreeBSD USB stack is dual-mode, both Host and Device?

If you want we could arrange a time to talk a bit about a GSoc 2015 
project involving USB and FreeBSD. The "mail@" is not valid, and should 
probably be "hselasky@" :-)
