   Curious.  The two devices I have which do this are both curiously made by the
   same company - but they're very different devices.  Both used to work just
   fine.

   uhidev0 at uhub3 port 5 configuration 1 interface 0
   uhidev0: P.I. Engineering Xkeys Programmable Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1

   The other is a "P.I. Engineering" USB<->PS/2 adapter with mouse and keyboard
   functionality - and, strangest of all, it's the keyboard part that generally
   stops working.

   All in all, I have a fair variety of weird and quirky USB behavior these
   days.  I am vaguely suspecting that it may involve my laptop's power
   management features, although some of it happens on other devices as well.

I also get "dead" mouse behavior with my USB mouse.  I have noticed that
it is much worse when the Wavelan card is receiving and sending packets.
