You should contact Belkin.  In the past, they have bent over
backward to be compatible with FreeBSD; they even revised their
firmware in their KVM switches to deal with FreeBSDs overly
anal keyboard probing code.  Some people on these lists don't
like their products, but IMO they've always been a friend to
FreeBSD.
