Not all, some only pop as like this

ugen0 at uhub1 port 1 "OMNIKEY AG Smart Card Reader USB" rev 2.00/1.00 addr

*This was the only output seen until I plugged it out then I got the generic
device detached message.

ugen0 detached

In theory they should all emulate/act as a serial interface in some form or
another. ACG USB readers use an FTDI serial converter although I won't have
one of those to test for quite sometime as they are a bit too expensive when
compared to OpenPCD. I don't think the Omnikey readers play as nice as the
OpenPCD or ACG readers. I'll have a chance to test the OpenPCD reader with
OpenBSD 4.3 in about a week or so.
