Seemed to work. But I do not seem to have the device driver loaded when I plug in the USB device.

Shouldn't I see something like 7.0-RELEASE-p1 or 7.0-STABLE? Did I do something wrong in my update to RELEASE? How do I know if I'm running the STABLE kernel with the driver I want? How can I tell if the driver (uslcom) is there and/or loaded? > uslcom(4) appeared somewhere in 7.0-STABLE in GENERIC, and you are running 7.0-RELEASE, that is older. freebsd-update works only with releases (plus sec.patches), and 7.0-STABLE is not a release (obviously because you cannot definitely say to what date it corresponds). So you should update it to STABLE manually or wait until 7.1 is out. wbr, pluknet
