    My USB devices are not being detected on my tower. I'm running
    5.3-STABLE and have the following in my /etc/rc.conf:

      
            ________________________________________________________________
            salamander# cat /etc/rc.conf
            # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Mon Dec 6 13:36:23 2004
            # Created: Mon Dec 6 13:36:23 2004
            # Enable network daemons for user convenience.
            # Please make all changes to this file, not
    to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
            # This file now contains just the overrides
    from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
            hostname="salamander.thesizemores.net"
            ifconfig_vr0="DHCP"
            linux_enable="YES"
            moused_enable="YES"
            usbd_enable="YES"
            sendmail_enable="YES"
            sendmail_flags="-bd"
            sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid"
            sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
            sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
            sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
            devfs_system_ruleset="local_ruleset"
            ________________________________________________________________

    and this in a /etc/devfs.rules file that I created per another post I
    saw on the forum:

            
            ________________________________________________________________
            [local_ruleset=10]
            add path 'ugen*' mode 664
            ________________________________________________________________

    The following lines appear in my /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file (this is
    out-of-the-box, I have not recompiled the kernel since initial install):

            
            ________________________________________________________________
            # USB support
            device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
            device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
            device usb # USB Bus (required)
            #device udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices
            device ugen # Generic
            device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
            device ukbd # Keyboard
            device ulpt # Printer
            device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires
    scbus and da
            device ums # Mouse
            device urio # Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player
            device uscanner # Scanners
            
            # SCSI peripherals
            device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
            device ch # SCSI media changers
            device da # Direct Access (disks)
            device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc)
            device cd # CD
            device pass # Passthrough device (direct
    SCSI access)
            device ses # SCSI Environmental Services
    (and SAF-TE)
            
            ________________________________________________________________

    However, when I connect my camera via the USB connector (or via a
    SanDisk card reader) and turn it on, I get no messages in dmesg and
    usbdevs shows

            
            ________________________________________________________________
            salamander# usbdevs
            addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA
            addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA
            addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA
            ________________________________________________________________

    I also have an Epson Stylus C84 printer connected directly to one of the
    box's USB ports and it doesn't appear either. I have PNP turned off in
    the BIOS. What else could I check? These ports were working as
    recently as a month ago with a Linux flavor installed.

    Thanks.
