Some few more details about BSD.
Take into consideration if you need sudo! BSD is something like the grandpa of apple and millions of apple users complain about sudo, not knowing what is happening. It sets your changes made back, a real setback. In my linux distro I disabled sudo without any problem.In my BSD I am figuring out what to do.

The files

Code:

 /etc/rc.conf

and

Code:

 /etc/rc.shutdown

a likely to be important for your special configuration, server or desktop.

If you need an application that is not in the ports (the programms bundle) you download the tar-ball archive and unpack it to the users jail (account).

You may join one of those BSD-forums, but my experience was, they treat you quite snobbish, with the stiff upper lip, you were not born to use BSD or even Unix, unless you are one of these masters of the universe.

And once again, the BSD handbook is much better than most of the manpages, which are probably made to be read only by the developers.

So have fun, don't give up, it is worth it. Thumbs up!

there is one more important thing you should know about BSD filessystem. If you connect an external drive such like a usb-stick or an external usb-HDD be aware to make this item be formatted in msdos fat32. My ugly expierience last year told me that ext2/3/4 do not communicate with UFS or ZFS, whatever you try. I am using as well usb-sticks and an external HDD, with fat32, it works smoothly.
So good luck discovering the possibilities of BSD, it is good.

ehci

EHCI(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   EHCI(4)

NAME

     ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ehci

DESCRIPTION

     The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.

     EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol.  This means that they normally have one or more companion
     controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices.  Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
     trollers.	The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
     appear to connect to different USB busses.

SEE ALSO

     ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4), xhci(4)

HISTORY

     The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

LOADER TUNABLES

     When the kernel has been compiled with options USB_DEBUG, some tunables become available that affect the behavior of ehci.  These tunables
     can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.usb.ehci.lostintrbug
	     This tunable enables the lost interrupt quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.iaadbug
	     This tunable enables the EHCI doorbell quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.no_hs
	     This tunable disables USB devices to attach like HIGH-speed ones and will force all attached devices to attach to the FULL- or LOW-
	     speed companion controller.  The default value is 0 (off).
