dmesg output showing error messages at end

Description of problem:
I'm running fc14 and this problem has happened a couple of times. I will be using the usb ports on the computer when all of a sudden I plug something in (a memory stick / flash drive or whatever) and it is not recognized. I have had this same failure with both mem sticks and mp3 players.

Symptoms:
* cannot hotplug any usb devices with the front ports
* lsusb takes forever
* messages spewing in dmesg about not being able to reset the usb ports and finally ongoing message that hub_port_status failed (error = -110)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not certain this is a kernel issue or a specific usb component. I am running kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64

(I would run a newer kernel but for the fact that suspend is broken in later kernels -- see Bug 684623)

How reproducible:
intermittent

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use usb device such as memory stick or mp3 player
2. plug in, use, click "safely remove drive" for mem stick or "eject" for mp3 player
3. repeat step 2 several times in fairly close succession
4. the port fails and the device is not recognized (much quicker with mp3 player than with memory stick). It only took 3 times with Sansa Fuze but I used a stick yesterday like a dozen times with no problem.

Actual results:
USB port stops working

Expected results:
port works
