For what it's worth, I also have Belkin OmniCube, mine is a 4 port.
NetBSD wont even recognise there is a mouse connected - if I plug in
a mouse directly, NetBSD finds it with no problem. This is with the
wsmouse configuration. I just put it down to one of those NetBSDisms.

I did try different cables in case that was the issue.
