Hello,

this morning i bought the device named in $Subject and played around a bit, 
until the point, where every write access resulted in a crash of the stick 
and a hanging operation on NetBSD side. After hunting around, i found FreeBSD 
already has a quirk for this problem, which i ported to NetBSD. Here is the 
patch:

This is verified, i can write now, and currently i don't see any further 
problems.

BTW... fine with KDE to lock the console and detach cfs volumes when pulling 
out, and re-enable the console and attach cfs volumes when plugging in :)
Wrote some rudimentary usb event daemon for this.

For replies, please contact me off-list (or Cc:), as i'm not subscribed here.
