Try to use a more current kernel.  Likely it won't matter
here, but 2.6.11 is over 18 months old by now ... :)

USB devices can draw a certain amount of current, with
a maximum of 500 mA in high power configurations.

USB hubs, like root hubs, may be able to detect when
that current limit is exceeded; if so, it's reported
as an "over current" error.

Likely.  When a port issues an overcurrent fault,
the device connected to it is disconnected.


We have seen cases where some USB controllers (EHCI and
UHCI, I don't recall it with OHCI) *wrongly* report such
over-current errors ... at least, "wrongly" in the sense
that no device is connected, so we think the motherboard
must be at fault, badly wired or whatever.
