I saw you were running i386, I actually meant the dfu-util binary but from you 
have presented it appears the kernel version is indeed a problem. I hadn't 
realised.

I agree ... well ... let's just say *BSD :) ... I'm on the NetBSD side of the 
fence.

Virtualbox should run on FreeBSD and I've heard their Xen implementation has 
matured quite a bit, using hvm should allow this to function if your laptop 
supports it. Xen's acpi functionality tends to be lacking though.

Anyway, just a thought :)
