Kernel 2.6.10 and later issues with USB

Basically you are at the elimination game. Pull everything from the 
system (hardware) and run a non smp kernel, see if you can reproduce, 
then reintroduce hardware till the problem comes back. You might end up 
stuck just buying a $10 usb 2.0 card until the next kernel rev comes out 
and fixes your particular weirdness.
