Addendum

Test article 3: Walmart special, 1.1GHz Athlon.

Both devices work fine and dandy with kernels kernel-2.6.5-1.358,
kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2, and kernel-2.6.8-1.520.

I conjecture that the problem with the other test systems is that they
are older, slower, and the USB code can't move fast enough.
