If your device does not re-appear within 10 seconds, then try this:

1) Add a quirk:

kldload usb_quirk
kldload usb2_quirk

usbconfig add_dev_quirk_vplh vid pid 0 0xFFFF UQ_CFG_INDEX_0

Replace vid and pid by the info provided by "usbconfig -u 2 -a 2 
dump_device_desc".

2) Dump USB configuration:

usbconfig -u 2 -a 2 dump_curr_config_desc

--HPS
