OpenBSD laptops

>Lots of fixes to USB and and xhci mean USB 3 devices should attach much more reliably.

Does anyone know how much code FreeBSD and OpenBSD share? FreeNAS uses FreeBSD 9 and the forum is allergic to any mention of xhci. I've got it working on a Atom C2758 system but it runs at USB 2 speed.

IIRC, they both forked the USB stack from NetBSD a long time ago and haven't really remained in sync since. The XHCI drivers seem to be independent implementations.

Speaking about NetBSD.

I never see any news about NetBSD and hardly any about FreeBSD. Though quite a few about OpenBSD. Why?

Damnit. Looks like I'll be trialling FreeBSD 10 and OpenBSD 5. If I had a good alternative to ZFS I'd jump back to Linux before loading too much data on to this NAS. FreeNAS 9 is like going back to the 90s.

We borrow a lot, however Freebsd tends to like to do things as library layers. e.g. libgraph, and other things we don't do.
