NEC Chipset cardbus USB2 card not working in high speed mode - any hints?

System:
-------
Thinkpad X22
Fedora Core 3
Kernel 2.6.9-1.698_FC3

Problem:
--------

I've got a Dynex USB2 cardbus card (NEC chipset) that works at high
speed under Fedora Core 1.  However, under Fedora Core 3, I can't get high
speed working - which means I can't use my newer CDRW drive, as it wants
to communicate at a minimum of 8X for burning CDRs.

Here's what happens:

dmesg on card insert -

PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.2 (0000 -> 0002)

(Looks normal so far, I think...)

Now, plugging in the CD burner:

dmesg

ehci_hcd 0000:03:00.2: fatal error
ehci_hcd 0000:03:00.2: HC died; cleaning up
ohci_hcd 0000:03:00.1: wakeup

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: IOMEGA    Model: CDDVD482416E23-C  Rev: 0037
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
USB Mass Storage device found at 2
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage

Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

At this point, I can "use" the drive, but only at low speed - meaning I
can't burn anything but CDRW discs (which the drive will burn at 4X). 
This drive and card combo works under Fedora Core 1 and will burn at full
speed.

Any hints?
