Did you usb devices get connected before updating the kernel or the
problem is there from the first time(means when you installed the
FC3).

Right now i don't have a solution for ur problem,but because i faced
the same problem and i upgraded my kernel and also hotplug utilities
rpm and my usb devices started working fine.

I forget to ask you did you upgraded hotplug rpm if not then please
update it because hotplug is necessary for usb devices.
