You need to handle the interrupt endpoint like a interrupt endpoint.
And it send a lot of data so it need to be buffered.
It is the same error if you try to run it under Linux on a 2.4 kernel.

It is not a hid device. - And why does it answer like it do?

All usb devices have an enumerating process. And it is wrong of the
hid driver to report it as a hid device as the klass is 0 and
that mean that the klass is defined at interface level.

And if you look at interface level it say class=ff and it
mean vendor protocol.

So the solution is to make the usblib on freebsd handle
interrut endpoint's. The driver is working nice on Linux
running a 2.6 kernel.

And you may have a look on bcmxcp.c and the protocol code,
I don't think that Peter let this code go into the hid driver.
