I'm afraid I do not follow...  The kernel config file has both the 
device xl and the device ulpt lines.

kldstat -v indicated usb was there but ulpt was not.  For grins, I 
loaded ulpt.ko and it showed up in the kldstat display.  I'm going to 
change loader.conf.local for usb and ulpt and see what happens but I'm 
going to wait until tomorrow (I want to let my overnight cron scripts 
catch up from being off the air for several days.)

Sorry...

Maybe I'm missing the point but I did not see anything that told me 
there was going to be a change in the way this acted when I came up to 
5.2-C.  If I'm missing the something, I would appreciate someone helping 
me understand what is going on...
