usb enclosure - control timeout on ep0in, device not accepting address

[rusecure at rogers.com]

Hi,

I'm running Fedora 2 on an IBM R32 laptop.
Kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3

I get the following error when I try and plugin a 60GB, USB 2.0, 2.5HD
enclosure:

Jul 31 23:26:57 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device
using address 2
Jul 31 23:27:02 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: control timeout on ep0in
Jul 31 23:27:03 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: device not accepting address
2, error -71
Jul 31 23:27:03 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device
using address 3
Jul 31 23:27:03 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: device not accepting address
3, error -71

I know the main board on this laptop only supports USB1.1, but so does
this device. I've tried googling for similar errors to no avail.

Thanks,

Nelson
