 Hi
 
 There seems to be some missed detail in my previous email.
 
 As included in PR port-amd64/41174 (previously mentioned), the traceback 
 is in
 
 http://evaldo.gardenali.biz/NetBSD-5.99.10-amd64/DSCN1722.JPG
 http://evaldo.gardenali.biz/NetBSD-5.99.10-amd64/DSCN1724.JPG
 
 Again, since they are different issues, this one could be fixed
 independently of the other. When I boot with the device already
 plugged, it works absolutely fine.
 
 Regards
 
 Evaldo
