I have noticed that it is relatively easy to wedge the USB stack on recent
CURRENT. Personally I manage to reliable wedge it by a user-space program
using devel/libftdi (-> libusb in base) by re-programming the 'chunk-size'
from 4096 to 1 byte. Haven't looked at it more closely yet.

Another similar report was:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-January/015200.html

Under 'wedge' I mean that anything connected to a 'wedged' HUB fails to
enumerate.

Workarounds:
1) Try to use the port on another HUB (normally 1 HUB serves 2 USB ports).
2) Reboot the computer and try again.

Hans, do you have any ideas?

P.S. My CURRENT is not so current at the moment :)
