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?

see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131074

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

I am not using an external hub.
The mouse is not detected during the boot process.
It is only detected if I unplug it and replug it after booting.
It worked fine in 7.x until recently.

I'm sorry, Dean, my reply was to Ronny's message, not yours :)
