!Upgrade to hal-0.5.8-20070403 first.  In fact, update all ports to the 
!latest first.  A lot of bugs have been fixed since the first GNOME 2.18 
!package set was uploaded to MarcusCom.
OK, thanks for that hint.
I'd prefer to do this from available packages;
I don't think my client would mind terribly,
however, if we were to build individual ports,
as needed to get this working as it should.

!I've never seen probe0, and I don't know how this device got referenced. 
!  USB umass devices should be /dev/da*.  Again, try with the latest 
!ports, and report any problems that remain.
If I can find any pattern to this,
I'll report it here.
