Description
probe-rs switched from a libusb based backend to nusb (https://docs.rs/nusb/latest/nusb/). This unfortunately lacks illumos support at the moment. This means we are stuck on our old version of probe-rs until we add that support.
From discussions with our local illumos experts this seems doable (possibly using something like https://illumos.org/man/4D/ugen)
