Hi,
  I have an update on this regarding 2.6.3-rc1 kernel. I have two cables.
With the original cable which I used to report this problem I still get the
reset problem.

  Later I bought Gembird cable which seemd to be undetected but now it
get's detected as same Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302 and doesn't show the reset
problem.

  However, both log on machines:
usb0: rxqlen 0 --> 4
NETDEV WATCHDOG: usb0: transmit timed out
usb0: tx err -104

  Is that of an interrest to anyone.
