The usbd(8) daemon is required for USB hot-plug to work. I know of at least one other problem: Probably, your machine has more than one USB bus. By default (FreeBSD 4.x), only the device node for the first bus (/dev/usb0) is created and usbd(8) will only service that first bus. To solve that, use MAKEDEV(8) to create the device nodes for the other buses (you can see in dmesg how many you need). -- Jilles Tjoelker _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
