Not necessarily.  -current has an issue which prevents USB storage devices
from working if they are inserted after boot.  Sometimes.  Try having the
stick inserted on boot, and then see if it's detected.  If it is, you should
be able to insert/remove it just fine (until the next reboot w/o the stick
inserted).

This is a major annoyance, but I haven't had the cycles to go figure out
when -current started behaving this way.  I *think* Steven Bellovin (?)
filed a PR on this, but I can't seem to find it offhand.
