USB goes away

[David Benfell]

Hello all,

I gather that USB has, in the past, been troublesome on
FreeBSD.  From my present experience, it still is.

USB works for a little while after a reboot.  The system
then ceases to acknowledge any USB devices:

earth# usbdevs -v

Despite the reported device problem, I can do one sync using
using pilot-xfer.  /var/log/messages includes:

My scanner (also connected) doesn't seem to be recognized.
I'm really getting tired of having to reboot my system
every time I want to do something with USB.  What gives?
