8.0 has an all new USB stack (thank HPS and a host of others) and it ROCKS! Hardware that simply would not work on the old stack is operating flawlessly on 8.0-BETA2. One note if you want to try 8.0. You will probably need to update all of your ports to avoid library version mis-matches. Most notably, you need to rebuild any port that uses libusb and it is now a standard system library. Ports linked against the old ports libusb will not work after the upgrade. I suggest upgrading to 8.0, deleting libusb, and then doing a "portupgrade -fa" (or the portmaster equivalent). -- R.
