I get the following from my own portable BD machine, from the lsusb command:
Bus /dev/usb Device /dev/ugen0.10: ID 0e8d:1956 MediaTek Inc. Samsung SE-506 Portable BluRay Disc Writer There's also lots of "can't get device qualifier: Input/output error" with -v but it's not stopping the disk from working. I can run k3b and use it. > can't get debug descriptor: Input/output error. > Does it mean that my USB hardware is broken? I'm not sure - it might be worthwhile subscribing & posting to freebsd-usb@ --
