Hello everybody,
I'm considering buying a gp2x soon and I was wondering if it'll be easy to interface it with my main freeBSD box.
I read this whole section and was pleased to see linux support seems good, so there are good chances it'll work
quite fine with BSD. However, something is still mysterious to me: the usb networking. If I understand correctly,
it works by creating a pseudo network interface which takes the IP packets (or maybe it's even at the ethernet layer?)
and "tunnels" them through the usb.
If my assumptions are corrects, does it mean there is a standard way to do IP over USB (or ethernet over USB),
or it's a GP2X only protocol ? If it's the latter, it'll probably mean I'll have to do a driver by myself, which is quite... annoying.
If it's standard, there are chances it might already be supported in freeBSD.
Could someone clarify this topic for me? And by any chances, do you have already tried to interface your GP2X with
a freeBSD box?
P.S.: please excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker...
