TL;DR: all is working in 7.8 and 7.7. Thank you for all of the help and advice. After an hour of troubleshooting, I find 2 things occurred: 1. The USB hub is correct, for it is the usb extension cable plugged into the receiver so the connection could reach the top of the pole. 2. The 7.7 -> 7.8 upgrade occurred during a storm and the receiver USB plug just slipped a bit from the extender. I have re-attached and secured the receiver and extension cable to the pole to avoid this nonsense happening in the future. usbconfig from freebsd was helpful in debugging the entire setup. All is back working as expected and my LAN is back on time sync within 2-5 ms variability. usbdevs: addr 02: 067b:23a3 Prolific Technology Inc., USB-Serial Controller sysctl hw.sensors.nmea0 (abridged) hw.sensors.nmea0.indicator0=On (Signal), OK hw.sensors.nmea0.timedelta0=0.085260 secs (GPS autonomous), OK deimos
