[Bug 562348] [NEW] BigBen Wireless Gamepads work randomly

[Mr Jingle]

Public bug reported:

"BigBen Wireless Gamepads" are Xbox 360 shape-like gamepads using RF USB
dongles to communicate with the computer. They are detected by lsusb as
"ACRUX RF USB GAMEPAD 8206", and use the standard joydev driver. The
actual devices after detecting the connection with the RF dongle display
a confirmation led. If such connection is not detected, the led will
blink.

On Ubuntu 10.04 ( linux kernel is "2.6.32-20-generic" ) the dongle
detection seems to work randomly, requiring removing and reconnecting
the dongle multiple times till the link is established. Such behaviour
occurs on two different devices, and both of them work correctly under
windows xp.

nor lsusb, dmesg or jstest show different informations regarding the
device while it's working or not. In any case, I've added the  lsusb.
