Re: USB

Hello!

Where did you get the idea from to send your message to the
hurd-devel-readers mailing list?  <bug-hurd@gnu.org> is the correct list
for such questions, as explained on
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/mailing_lists.html>, for example.

No work with respect to USB support is in progress as far as I know.  A
lot of work will be needed to get this into a useful shape.

One thing to work on are device drivers.  These would most probably be
ported from another operating system (Linux, *BSD) and embedded into GNU
Mach.  I can't tell offhand which parts of the USB stack could be
implemented in user-space (as a translator) in a current GNU/Hurd system.
