Additionally, sometimes if you kill -9 it, the window dies, but the process goes zombie and locks the device such that it requires a reboot to use that device again... note, they are by name in osx, so unplug/replug does not work, the name is occupied still. I have to reboot now. Please spend some time on this soon, I can test anything you like right now, min open apps to annoy me by crashes etc.

Awesome I'll see what I can make of that info. It's a shame these sys calls are different on MAC vs Lin.

You need to dual boot a box with Hackintosh and/or FreeBSD which MAY be similar :-)

hmmmm i have osx in a vbox. I can see if vbox will "push" my usb adapter to the guest OS.

Probably not, but FreeBSD support would be cool to have anyway if you're interested in making the code even better and more robust! :-)
