Has anyone ponied up to the update of TCP/IP yet?

[Thomas Dörfler]

Hi,

sorry for being silent on that issue (USB) for so long. We have received
your USB port package and after some inspection came to the conclusion
that in the long term it would be better to port the USB functinality
from FreeBSD to RTEMS, but with a more complete "FreeBSD porting layer".

The benefits from that approach are:
- have a more modern USB stack (which may even include client functinality)
- have the capability to upgrade to newer FreeBSD packages with low effort
- have the capability to upgrade the TCP/IP stack with low effort
- keep much closer to the FreeBSD sources WRT these two stacks and their
drivers

This work is already in progress.

wkr,
Thomas Doerfler.
