My USB devices are not being detected on my tower. I'm running
5.3-STABLE and have the following in my /etc/rc.conf:

and this in a /etc/devfs.rules file that I created per another post I
saw on the forum:

[local_ruleset=10]
add path 'ugen*' mode 664

The following lines appear in my /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file (this is
out-of-the-box, I have not recompiled the kernel since initial install):

However, when I connect my camera via the USB connector (or via a
SanDisk card reader) and turn it on, I get no messages in dmesg and
usbdevs shows

I also have an Epson Stylus C84 printer connected directly to one of the
box's USB ports and it doesn't appear either. I have PNP turned off in
the BIOS. What else could I check? These ports were working as
recently as a month ago with a Linux flavor installed.
Thanks.
