WOW! That was quite a journey! Thanks for the sysctl hint this may
come handy! :-)

I just wonder if this is the Diamex-only problem or all STK500v2
interfaces.. maybe they are just using public firmware on their own
hardware.. in that case all STK500v2 devices could be affected :-)

Hans is also my hero, I am rooting for the battle against some XHCI
controller on ARM hardware on the freebsd-usb list, man, patches are
already in the kernel :-) :-)

Have fun and take care! :-)
