I figured out the problem, and I have a solution. As the other person
mentioned, the device name has changed from "/dev/usb" into "/dev/usb
" (the space is important). However, the hald daemon doesn't use libusb
on FreeBSD. Here's a patch which tells hald to look at the new device,
apply it to the root of your ports collection.

Additionally, I think it is a bug that hald busy-loops trying (and
failing) to open "/dev/usb". Ideally, I think that hald should put a
sleep in there of some sort, to give up CPU to something else.
