My initial guess is your chipset is UHCI interface rather then a OHCI
interface (USB 1.x only i believe). Essentially UHCI is a software
controller and OHCI is hardware (like hardware vs software RAID). However
it is a common problem for UHCI controllers. You might get an OHCI
controller and see if the problem lingers.
