Would a shared session spent debugging the wispy (making it work under 
Solaris) be a nice way to introduce folks to the userland libusb framework?

libusb is really nice in that you can get your feet wet with a device 
driver, without having to tackle the full problem of making it work in 
the kernel.  Life in userland is *vastly* simpler.
