I'm tracking 7-STABLE.
Recently.. within the last month or so..  my simple USB mouse stopped
being detected at boot time.
The /dev/ums0 device simply does not appear unless I unplug the mouse
and plug it back in again.  Then it is detected.

I don't even know where to begin looking for answers to this one.

This happens to me also. Strange thing, when I plug the mouse into a
port that is connected directly to the motherboard (not via a hub), it
is detected. When connected to a hub (the integrated hub on my P5K),
it is not. Could it be that FreeBSD fires up the hub after trying to
detect the mouse?

SY, Marat

it seems that FreeBSD, at least 7.x, cannot detect appearance of new hardware plugged into external HUB at runtime, it can detect such a hardware only during boot process
