Comment 265 for bug 88746

I'm getting this problem with my Palm LifeDrive, and with my Arduino microcontroller board.

Neither device is even detected when connected with USB. A /dev isn't assigned.

The problem goes away when I sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd.

I've documented some of my experiences with this bug on this thread:

Please fix! This is a terrible bug!
