Hello,

In the wonderful world of strange and useless (?) USB devices, there are
some devices referred to as "PC - PC Link Cable", "Data Link Cable" or
"USB Data Transfer Cable".
I just happened to pick up one for another use, but I just had to plug
it into my FreeBSD workstation to se what would be reported. The cable
Have 2 USB A-type connectors, and a "lump" in the middle. The lump is
labeled "USB 2.0 Data Transfer Cable" on the front side, and "Model No:
USB-NL2 Maed In China" on the back side.

Here is the dmesg report:
Dec 31 02:07:48 machine kernel: ugen0: Acer Labs USB 2.0 Data Link, rev
2.00/1.03, addr 2

Are any USB Data Link Cables supported under FreeBSD?
