   Do you also
run some VIA controller? 
 vicviper:/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1# head product
 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller 
 
Here's mine:
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller
Well ...
  hmm.. not good. Do you think that getting myself a
non-VIA-based PCI USB
 Interface could help? 
If you could try on such a thing, you could at least nail the problem
down to some controller driver issue. I'm really no expert with this,
so I suggest to also ask on the linux-usb lists:
http://www.linux-usb.org/
   (I don't
understand what you mean by "its own USB controller"?) 
 I'm afraid I
don't know the correct terminology, what I meant was that it does
 not share its bus with another device. 
 
Ah, okay. I have similar, even worse problems, with a Contour Shuttle
HID controller, which is totally non-functional on my VIA-board, but
works fine on my intel laptop. It did not help to just use a
4-hub-USB-controller in between the VIA-controller and the Shuttle.
All my other USB devices ranging from Soundcards to Webcams work fine,
though.
Ciao
