I just tested it in another identical machine running Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel and it works fine there too. I can freely move it between Mac OS X and Linux without issue, but as soon as I move it back to FreeBSD, it goes dead again. It's not the USB ports because I can connect a USB keyboard and/or mouse into any of the other USB ports on that machine and they work fine. > FYI: I use this adapter on MacOS X laptop to access the console of > FreeBSD, RedHat and Sun Microsystems machine.
