unreliable USB connections

[Steven Harms]

I have a few thousand linux boxes, and I have about ~25 of them that
mysteriously lose their USB devices.  This is below the hal / udev
level though, as they dont even show through 'lsusb' etc.  The issue
is sporadic and I attribute it to motherboard issues with heat /
static electricity.
