I've seen odd behaviour with FreeBSD and hubs before. I think FreeBSD's USB code was substantially reworked for 7.0, so maybe it hasn't fully settled down yet. Worth asking on one of the FreeBSD mailing lists. > So, does anybody have any ideas about how to fix this.

You can get a second USB cable assembly as item code "usb_2nd" from Wim at https://kd85.com/soekris.html (which has a photo showing where to connect the cable to the board). Wim also sells a second serial port cable assembly, item "code serial_2nd", which would be my preferred solution if the UPS has a serial port as well as USB.
