Yes. Even better would be to get the freebsd support merged into libusbx. /me suspects the reason why freebsd has its own implementation is basically the same why the libusbx exists in the first place: unfriendly libusb upstream. So if you tried + failed to merge the freebsd bits to libusb in the past it is worth trying again to get them into libusbx, then switch over freebsd to libusbx too. cheers, Gerd
