Ok. After playing with my BIOS settings, i decided to reset them all.
And here, i can say that i previously made a mistake: *disable* ACPI at
boot time _do_ the trick!
So, i ended with these two systems:
- notebook: FreeBSD 5.2.1 + ACPI enable => USB ok
- notebook: FreeBSD 5.3 + ACPI disable => USB ok
- desktop: FreeBSD 5.2.1 + ACPI enable => USB ko :(
- desktop: FreeBSD 5.3 + ACPI disable => USB ok
The desktop is the machine equipped with the MSI K7T266 Pro2 motherboard.
Note: the BIOS firmware is up to date with the last revision available.
The update during the RELENG_5 branch seems to be at the origin of the
USB support problem on this motherboard.

PS: Sorry Anish for the mistake in the first place.
