This is a little off topic, but both of those might eventually be a working possibility.
First of all, for the TouchStrip, The "fprint" project might support that, you'll need to install "libusb".

FreeBSD has a port of fprint but it seems to be an older version, manually compiling it should be fairly strait forward.
Just because devices attach as ugen doesn't mean they're completely useless, libusb has opened up the possibility of simple user land drivers.
As for the camera, not exactly FreeBSD related, OpenBSD -CURRENT has a UVC driver now uvideo(4). (
Plus a v4l2 framework, no man page yet.. but, soon. :-))
Perhaps FreeBSD developers will port it eventually?
