1.2.3-rc3 USB keyboard not working

[wagebox]

I've been using Dell Optiplex 330 (Pentium dual core 2GHz, G31 chipset, 1GB ram) with pfsense 1.2.3-rc1 for some time as our router without any problems. Last week I decided to try recently released pfsense 1.2.3-rc3. I did full backup, exported settings, keys and stuff and did full reinstall to 1.2.3-rc3.

I was using usb keyboard when installing pfsense (optiplex 330 has no ps2 ports). When pfsense live cd booted, keyboard was still working in boot loader. However, as soon as kernel detected usb ports keyboard stopped responding, as if it is not plugged at all. Obviously I checked the keyboard (some no-name junk) and it is working fine. Then I tried different keyboard (this time HP keyboard) and as soon as I plugged the keyboard in (later I discovered both keyboards did the same) kernel displayed message:

uhub1: port1, set config at addr 2 failed
uhub1: device problem (SHORT_XFER), disabling port1

Later I used live cd + usb drive with config file so it is possible to ssh into it and use.

dmesg output:

Is this problem specific to freebsd 7.2 and used hardware ?
And if yes then what hardware is safe to use regarding usb keyboards or is there some fix ?

Thank you.
