We recently received our RMA'd board(s) back.  These boards belong to the same family of
the original board we did this install on/with.  In plain English:
initial install = Tyan Tiger-MP (S-2460) <-- USB mouse working
upgraded  = Tyan Tiger-MPX (S-2466) <-- USB mouse still working
switched to: gigabyte GA-6bxds <-- mouse stopped working.  The USB mouse was seen, but
wasn't able to get mouse to respond with movement.

dmesg | grep -I usb
uhci0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller> port 0xa000-0xa01f irq 10 at device 7.2
on pci0
usb0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
ums0: Logitech USB Mouse, rev 1.10/6.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1
as posted on: http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/usb_mouse.txt

We tried both:
device         uhci            # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device        ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface
in the kernel config file.

The USB mouse once again works now that the (S-2466) boards are back online.

Would this be a case of:
a) Murphys' Law
b) Murphy & gigabyte/chipset/controller
c) Gigabyte/chipset/controller
d) Bad Karma

Thanks for your previous input.
