Hi,

You might try to plug the device to Linux and install the same software 
package and see what happens.

Linux has a tool similar to usbdump, that capture all USB traffic. Maybe 
this device needs some magic hint to not re-attach all the time.

Linux usually have more quirks than we do in FreeBSD. Try searching the 
internet for the idVendor and idProduct values.
