I am using this (previously sent to me) and I have one issue which I
am not sure if its a FreeBSD or u-boot problem. If I do not interrupt
the 10 second u-boot countdown then the usb device fails to attach on
the FreeBSD host, this is because FreeBSD times out on setting the usb
address for the u-boot device. Anyone else having this issue?
