I think that the existing USB driver does not allow USB-controllers to be 
detached. At least the root-hub does not allow this. And when they try to 
detach, the devices are deleted twice (which is due to the fact that the code 
was ported from NetBSD, which bus interface is a little different).

But I've got a USB driver that might fix that, if you want to try that:

Download the three files below into a new directory and type 
"make install"  (to uninstall type "make deinstall")
http://home.c2i.net/hselasky/isdn4bsd/privat/usb/Makefile
http://home.c2i.net/hselasky/isdn4bsd/privat/usb/new_usb_1_5_4.diff.bz2
http://home.c2i.net/hselasky/isdn4bsd/privat/usb/new_usb_1_5_4.tar.bz2

You need FreeBSD-5/6 to get it compiled.
