Quite frankly, in this generality thats not true. It may be true for you in your current specific environment, but not for a lot of others.

As the true nature of the bug ( or multiple bugs ) is not really understood, allthough it most probably lies within the kernel, any 'workarounds' thus far provided (mine no exception) is wild guessing at best.

This bug needs attention fro the kernel developers and tackled in an organized way. Here the ubuntu developers could aid in providing the necessary evidence,data and feedback to get this issue resolved.

So far any bugs reported to the kernel developers give the picture of single unrelated occurances the the developers , as there is no organized report there, pointing at the dimension of the problem.

I for my part have resigned and remain very pessimistic that this gets resolved any time soon. For my part I have found a workaround for my environment (put in an additional USB controller card), but as already mentioned thats not a solution. Changing the environment will most probably break the workaround as well.
