Hi Komputes

Moki,
 

 
Are you also having this issue with 9.04? Can you test the LiveCD to
 
check, or even install 9.04 on a usb key and boot from it to test this out.
 

 
If not a physical issue, I would suspect this is a kernel bug starting
 
in karmic. I can check for bugs reported against the USB controllers if
 
you guys (Moki & Peter) provide the output of this command (please paste
 
the output onto pastebin.ubuntu.com to keep emails short and clean):
 

 
$ lspci -nnk
 

 
Cheers,
