I've seen problems like this on my old PC, which is running an Asus
A7V333 motherboard from 2002. Its EHCI controller is reported as
adhering to the 0.95 standard, which according to the update document
from http://www.intel.com/technology/usb/ehcispec.htm was finished in
2000. I've assumed that since it's so ancient it's no surprise
that it struggles with modern USB devices.

Unfortunately I don't know of any solutions - or even if that's the
problem. The first step would probably be to
let people see what sort of hardware you have: could you post the
output of the dmesg command please?
