USB key on IBM Thinkpad

[Magnus Therning]

Just a wild shot ;-)

You have two host controllers loaded. IIRC I had a problem with that as
well, and my USB sticks didn't show up. Remove one and see if it
improves things.

This is how I did it:

 ---- /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/local ----
  # uhci_hcd is the host of choice
  ehci_hcd

/M
