VIA Technologies USB 2.0 IDE Bridge woes

Hello,

I'm running 6.2-STABLE on i386.  Yesterday I purchased a 3.5" USB 2.0
Hard Drive Enclosure kit under the brand name RocketFish, model number
RF-HD35.  My intention was to put a couple of extra 250GB PATA drives to
work.

I mounted a WD 250GB PATA drive in the enclosure and plugged it into 
an open USB 2.0 port.  

The kernel reports: VIA Technologies Inc. USB 2.0 IDE Bridge

and in the logs I see:

Sep  8 10:40:27 compaqnx7400 kernel: umass2: VIA Technologies Inc. USB 2.0 IDE Bridge, rev 2.00/0.05, addr 4
Sep  8 10:40:27 compaqnx7400 kernel: umass1: at uhub4 port 6 (addr 3) disconnected

Sep  8 10:40:27 compaqnx7400 kernel: umass2: Invalid CSW: tag 7 should be 8
Sep  8 10:45:32 compaqnx7400 kernel: umass2: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT

When I look at /dev/da* I see no device entries for da1.  Can someone
help me out getting this device functional under -STABLE?  If
-CURRENT is the only answer, I'm not opposed to giving that a try.

Just for a sanity check, I plugged the device into both a WinXP and OS X 10.4
machine and both boxes had no issue utilizing the device.

Many thanks in advance!

Doug
