Thanks for the reply.

Yes the gentoo forum link you provided is mine.

 ps auxww | grep bcmxcp | grep -v grep
109       7894  0.1  0.0  28616  1540 ?        S    09:23   1:06
/usr/libexec/hald-addon-bcmxcp_usb

Then
 equery belongs /usr/libexec/hald-addon-bcmxcp_usb
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/libexec/hald-addon-bcmxcp_usb in *... ]
sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2 (/usr/libexec/hald-addon-bcmxcp_usb)

Which is what I would expect. 

My current suspect is at the very end of the thread:
  Should the kernel usb module driver be usbfs? If not how do I change this?
