I know this, the uvisor and ucom devices are compiled into the kernel.
But still, as I pointed out on my last mail, I get the following
message:

ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
ucom0: init failed, TIMEOUT
device_probe_and_attach: ucom0 attach returned 6
uhub0: port 1, set config at addr 2 failed
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1

I have reported this to the bug-database too, you can read the message
here:

Do you know when this was eventually fixed? I have a pretty updated
kernel, my uname -a reports:

FreeBSD lefse.aftenposten.no 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #1: Tue Nov
2 08:45:05 CET 2004     root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LEFSE  i386
