My FreeBSD machine no longer recognise any USB device

I realise my FreeBSD doesnt recognise any USB device anymore. Nothing related to usb shows up when I insert usb device: bluetooth dongle, usb stick...

Does anyone have any idea? This is my current kernel config file:

try enabling
device ch # SCSI media changers

also i'm now shore where is this used, but try
device firmware # firmware assist module


also seams you can disable
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
since i don't see any device enabled, that depends on this
 
Or, more conveniently: Try booting with a GENERIC-kernel and see if that changes anything. That's generally a good thing to test if you've got problems and are using a custom kernel. :)
 
What does
Code: 
usbdevs -v
say?
 
I will install GENERIC once I get home. This is output of:

# kldload ehci
# cd /boot/kernel

Maybe this helps. You're probably just missing some required modules.

This module was compiled in the current kernel.

# cd /boot/kernel
# kldload u*

Im still unsure why you suggested me to cd /boot/kernel, and do you mean I should load all module starting with u? (there are so many ones)

Btw, my system is FreeBSD 6.4
