Small clarification: the hardware compatibility list isn't
broken down by operating system (theoretically, the drivers
should work on any POSIX system, with additional dependencies
for USB).</div>

<div>In general, permissions on device nodes aren't set up
automatically in FreeBSD. In particular, the USB nodes aren't
writable by the default system username for NUT (uucp), so you
probably will need to make a change to devd.conf.</div>
