I have a HID that requires raw addressing of the device. FreeNAS loads the uhid driver (connected at /dev/uhid0) for these devices and will not function. I believe I need the hidraw driver that is present in Linux as this device is recognized and works and is addressed at /dev/hidraw0 on my linux VM. This is the driver https://docs.huihoo.com/doxygen/linux/kernel/3.7/hidraw_8c_source.html Is it possible to build the hidraw driver and compile it into the freeNAS kernel (sounds like a bad idea) or load it as a kernel module? Or am I overlooking a simpler solution?

Thanks

I have not found a solution but am setting up a test environment with FreeBSD first to see if I can compile the driver on BSD. FreeNAS may not have the dependencies. I am reaching back to my Liunx Kernel compiling memory from 20 years ago when I did it all from scratch so its slow going. Thanks
