You could try installing my USB driver at:
http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/usb4bsd
And see if there is any change.
PS: If you want the latest sources, then:
svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b
cd i4b/trunk/i4b/FreeBSD.usb
make S=../src package
make install
Follow the "make help" instructions.
