A friend of mine has a mass-storage stick for USB, but his FreeBSD hangs when unmounting this device. He has a VIA chip. I don't so the mass-storage stick works with my FreeBSD! Here is what I have; grep "USB controller" /var/run/dmesg.boot: uhci0: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-A> port 0xbc00-0xbc1f irq 2 at device 29.0 on pci0 usb0: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-A> on uhci0 uhci1: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-B> port 0xb000-0xb01f irq 5 at device 29.1 on pci0 usb1: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-B> on uhci1 uhci2: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-C> port 0xb400-0xb41f irq 6 at device 29.2 on pci0 usb2: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-C> on uhci2 uhci3: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-D> port 0xb800-0xb81f irq 2 at device 29.3 on pci0 usb3: <Intel 82801EB (ICH5) USB controller USB-D> on uhci3 pci0: <USB controller> at 29.7 irq 9 > You might also want to try a BIOS upgrade.

I try not to blame anyone; I was confused and frustrated by the fact that my collegues use the same scanner on a Windows box and have it setup in matter of minutes, without a hitch. I'm struggling for days, and still it hardly works properly. Rob.
