USB address problem

[blacklusterseph004]

I am having some trouble with my usb2.0 pci card. I am trying to use the USRP board through, the USB card. However, when I connect it, it doesn't work. My output from dmesg is:

usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
usb 3-2: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/all
usb 3-2: can't read configurations, error -75
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
usb 3-2: device not accepting address 7, error -71
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 3-2: device not accepting address 8, error -71
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
usb 3-2: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/all
usb 3-2: can't read configurations, error -75
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
usb 3-2: device descriptor read/all, error -71
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
usb 3-2: device not accepting address 11, error -71
usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12
usb 3-2: can't set config #1, error -71

I also noticed that if I unplug the device, then dmesg doesn't indicate that it was disconnected. In udevmonitor is see the following:

UEVENT[1143625162.269484] add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:0b.3/usb3/3-2
UEVENT[1143625162.269846] remove@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:0b.3/usb3/3-2
UDEV [1143625165.643284] add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:0b.3/usb3/3-2
UDEV [1143625165.708329] remove@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:0b.3/usb3/3-2

What really gets me is that this device and the usb worked before. Previously, dmesg would just tell me that a high speed device was connected, and I would then explicitly load the firmware for it, which was fine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Googling for a solution has simply left me more confused...

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I'm seeing it with a IDE drive enclosure that I purchased online (what a suprise). What's funny is a cold boot of the server doesn't always cure the problem. Nor does a power-cycle of the drive enclosure thing.

My computer is a FIC-AZ11E, with a 1.0Ghz Thunderbird Athlon. The USB interface is USB 1.0. The drive enclosure is generic and shows no brand or model name.

The problem I had was more related to USB2.0 It was possibly the particular chipset (ALi) that my usb2.0 host card was using. I'd suggest that you hit the linux-usb-users mailing list. The guys there are very knowledgable about linux problems specifically related to the usb sub-system. I hope you find a solution.

Thanks for the advice, I will check it out. If I come up with anything I'll be sure and post the resolution.
