IMO, the best driver is no driver.

If you really have a need that can be satisfied with application-level stuff,
do it with application code and not kernel code.   Libusb provides a layer of
abstraction that should let you have identical code under both Linux and OSX.

Reference http://libusb.sf.net

Of course, sometimes you have to do a "real" driver...
