I think I reached a first interesting milestone in my project
to build an emulation layer to compile linux device drivers on FreeBSD.

I managed to build a FreeBSD port of the linux 'gspca' driver (which claims
to support 228 different webcams) with basically no modifications to
the original source. So it would be good if someone could give a try
to this code, either on -current or -stable, keeping in mind that
this is NOT PRODUCTION READY yet.

[...]
together of course with source code, and even binary modules
for FreeBSD 6.2.
Basically I would like to know how it builds/works on -current,
have reports on cameras that work with it and those which don't
and so on.
[...]

The binary modules also load on CURRENT i386 as of 2007/01/30,
dmesg shows

usb_spca5xx_init: gspca driver 01.00.12 registered
but it doesn't recognize the Xbox360 webcam (vendor 0x45e, product 0x294) :

spcaDetectCamera called vend 0x45e prod 0x294 p 0xc7a8d334
spcaCameraDetect failed
neither does it recognize the builtin USB 2.0 webcam of my Asus A6JE
laptop (Syntek, product 0xa311), at least no /dev/video* show up.

ok thanks for the work anyways... i see there is a
project on sourceforge for this one but probably not complete yet

http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/index.php?mode=documentation

Might be worth a try :)

while i haven't found anything on the web for the xbox thing.

Me neither. The xbox camera only creates a /dev/ugenX, but no /dev/ugenX.Y

The camera is recognized as:
ugen0: Microsoft Video Camera, rev 2.00/1.50, addr 2

cheers
