Iphone failure to charge on FC14

[Tony Foster]

The Iphone charged just fine a month ago. 
I have not used my computer to charge sinse then. 
The computer mother board is only a year old and 
and it supports 6 USB ports. I am only plugging in one item. 

Also as mentioned it powers a USB external drive just fine. 
My 6 year Laptop will charge the phone so I am more inclined to believe
this is a USB driver issue. A lot of the USB protocol is buried in the
driver.
