But it doesn't address Kevin's problem, which is a USB timeout, not a
failure to find a node in /dev.

See:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-February/msg01289.html

If the USB driver in the kernel is having problems with the device, it
can't identify the device and create a node for it. I doubt that the
situation would be any better with a static /dev entry for it either.
