Comment 16 for bug 54273

I'm having this problem on my wi-fi usb dongle (zd1201 chipset).
sometimes it works, but sometimes it won't accept address and i get "device descriptor read/64, error -110".

I recently upgraded my H/W (p35+ich9) and it became worse - i can now get the device working only if is connected before boot, and even then
it sometimes fails with this error. i tried connecting it to different ports with no success.

had this problem ever since feisty on all kernels. now using hardy beta with 2.6.24-15-generic.
