questions about undocumented USB drivers
I'd like to know more about these drivers so I can write man pages
for them, so any input is welcome.
sys/dev/usb/udsir.c
Committed in 2013 by kiyohara@, log message was
"Add KingSun/DonShine IRDA dongle."
However, the copyright is 2001 dsainty@, perhaps copypasted
from ustir(4)? I think this only supports one type of IRDA
dongle and is based on the ustir(4) code.
sys/dev/usb/udl.c
Driver for DisplayLink DL-1x0/1x5 based USB LCDs and USB-VGA
adapters, ported from OpenBSD, easy enough. Committed in 2009
by tsutsui@ with a dire message that the MI wscons API isn't
yet ready for this device driver. There were a few minor
changes to the driver since by nat@, but some kinda nasty
hacks remain in the code.
Is it usable yet? It sounds interesting :)
sys/dev/usb/slurm.c
This one caught my eye because it doesn't have the "u" prefix.
Log message, from jakllsch@ in 2013:
"Add slurm(4), a radio(4) driver for USB FM radio modules based
on the Silicon Labs reference design."
I can get a rough idea of the driver's capabilities by reading
the code. It seems much better than udsbr(4), the only USB
radio(4) driver we do document.
