Hi,

Of course.  Here is the device dump:

  # usbconfig -d ugen2.5 dump_info
  ugen2.5: <product 0x9041 vendor 0x0846> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST
spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

Searching for "vendor 0x0846 product 0x9041" seems to give many of the
same results.  Is there anything in particular I can add to the search
that would be helpful?

Thanks for the response.

Glen
