Every time I use my Nikon Coolscan IV LS-40 USB scanner the usb driver
crashes after scanning a small number of frames with the message:

   Mar 10 03:13:48 kletskop kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
   Mar 10 03:13:48 kletskop kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK received.

This is with linux-2.4.20 and in fact it has been a problem with all
stable linux kernels that I have tried. Kernels <= 2.4.18 would crash
within a few seconds, while kernels >= 2.4.19 do a decent job until they
crash after some 10-15 minutes scan time.

I am using vuescan which is also available for windows; when booting my
computer in Windows the exact same hardware runs vuescan without
problems, so I am assuming it is a problem with the linux usb driver. To
be sure I have bought a new usb pci card (uhci instead of the
motherboard ohci) but this did not help. So the problem is with both the
usb-uhci and usb-ohci module (or something that they share).

I saw a message on this mailing list by Martin Thornquist dated
2002-05-30 where he described the same problem. Could anybody out there
suggest a remedy? If you need more details, please let me know.
