Hi,

Re-compile the rsu module with USB debugging enabled:

Add to: sys/modules/usb/rsu/Makefile

CFLAGS+= -DUSB_DEBUG

Rebuild and install.

After that lookup the debug knob using "sysctl hw.usb | grep rsu" and 
set it to 16. Then collect some debug messages in dmesg, when problems 
appear.

Thank you.
