 Well I cannot provide anything anymore because too many panics destroyed 
 my slice. Well after much grief I installed just out of curiosity FBSD 
 7.2R and guess what? Apart from some performance drops it works like a 
 charm. I restarted the network several times without any problems, I just 
 pulled the stick from the usb port within some data transfers etc. - no 
 panic :-)

 In my opinion the new usb stack isn't ready for prime time or FreeBSD 8 
 release should wait until it's fixed - maybe March 2009. I do know such 
 up- and downturn in Linux only ... until today.
