It's so "good" working USB subsystem in FreeBSD. Are you 
using 6.x or 7.x? I had have discussed this issue recently 
- for my 6,3-STABLE I _must_ _each_ _boot_ re-plug 
keyboard to detect it. ROFL. And, of course, USB mouse do 
not work. Last time I see, how to increase filling of 
mails with similar questions - "my mouse does not 
detected", "why I should replug device" and so on. And 
each time I have receive answers, that it's free OS, like 
to do good - do it yourself and similar, that's USB 
subsystem works good and mouse isn't required for server, 
etc.

What a pity.
