I've seen problems like this on my old PC, which is running an Asus A7V333 motherboard from 2002. Its EHCI controller is reported as adhering to the 0.95 standard, which according to the update document from http://www.intel.com/technology/usb/ehcispec.htm was finished in 2000. I've assumed that since it's so ancient it's no surprise that it struggles with modern USB devices. Unfortunately I don't know of any solutions - or even if that's the problem. The first step would probably be to let people see what sort of hardware you have: could you post the output of the dmesg command please? -- Bruce Cran
