USB4 Support Lands In The Linux 5.6 Kernel

[kylew77]

I wonder how long this will take to trickle down to the BSDs. USB 3 took a long time to trickle down to the smaller teamed projects like NetBSD. Same thing with EFI boot. And who could forget the AMDGPU and Intel drivers lagging behind Linux. Right now having to rock a Nvidia GPU for my FreeBSD box for best driver support.

FireWire 3200?! I thought FireWire was dead?...

It is. FW just got some upgrades where it tried to compete with USB3.
