Both only have root HUBs: (Computer that works): ugen4.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON ugen4.2: <CIF Single Chip Pixart Imaging Inc.> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (Computer that does not work): ugen0.1: <OHCI root HUB nVidia> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE ugen0.2: <CIF Single Chip Pixart Imaging Inc.> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON The only difference is the chipset (and that nvidia is in power save mode). I tried `usbconfig -d 0.1 power_on` but that failed ``invalid argument''.
