Hi,

There is no UAS support in FreeBSD. The feature is controversial in USB 
circles, due to the dependency of a special and new USB 3.0 endpoint 
mode, called STREAMs mode. Not all USB host controllers support it. In 
FreeBSD STREAMs mode is disabled by default.

In USB 2.0 mode the device will fallback to UMASS.

In USB 3.0 it is vendor dependent if there is any fallback mode.
