  I've used a similar configuration with 2008.11 (and before and since).
  You can use "cfgadm -lv usb" to see the USB devices detected by the
  operating system.  Then, you can ask more specifically:

$ cfgadm -lv usb2/4
Ap_Id                          Receptacle   Occupant     Condition  Information
When         Type         Busy     Phys_Id
usb2/4                         connected    configured   ok         Mfg: <undef>  Product: PS2 to USB  NConfigs: 1  Config: 0  : HID Mouse
unavailable  usb-device   n        /devices/pci at 0,0/pci108e,534a at 2:4
