That's expected and a known problem.  The card contains
an OHCI controller, but the ohci(4) driver doesn't support
detaching.  I think that's also the reason why you have
to compile ohci statically in your kernel, there's no
module for it.

Solution:  Don't unplug the card.

The problem is supposed to be fixed with usb4bsd, but I
haven't tried it myself.

Best regards
