It also depends what version of FreeBSD. For example, in FreeBSD 4, =
kqueue
was non-functional with USB serial devices. I ran into that exact =
problem
with kqueue when porting my event library. Problems like that can make =
life
difficult for a library author; having a special case for one kind of =
handle
is a pain, to the point of leading to comments like this.
Of course, in this case the best thing to do is to ask the author, and =
to
see if the situation has changed.
