So in the warm start case nothing is loading if_axge.ko, correct?  I
see no problems on -CURRENT with either a cold start or a warm start.
Does manually loading if_axge.ko result in the device being recognized? 

In the previous email you said you tried preloading if_axge.ko from
loader.conf, but that didn't help.  Could you try also preloading
uether.ko?

After a warm boot, do you see the NIC in "usbconfig list" output?
Could you show the output of
"usbconfig -d ugen<device id> dump_device_desc" for that device if so?
