Hi folks, I've tried the described experiment and what I've seen seem to tell me that it's really the device controller, who dies rather than anything in the host. First of all, when the controller dies the "connection" LED on the USB hub goes down. Secondly, the other USB2 device (usb-stick) continues to work without any problems. So we seem to have troubles with the usb-storage driver alone, do we? Alan, I'm really sorry about that, but looks like it's still on you :-))
Actually, another sanity check was to try to operate the device from within vmware. And it worked! Slow, but worked. I think vmware uses EHCI driver to pipe the USB traffic through, but not the usb-storage driver. Could we probably make use of vmware setup to analyse the problem?
