This sounds depressingly like the infamous "VIA USB controller shuts down 
when receiving an overlong packet" problem.  That status -75 means the 
device tried to send more data than the computer asked it for.  (This may 
be a fairly common problem among low-speed HID devices.)  The "control 
timeout" message is a good indication that the USB controller has turned 
itself off.

I don't know how long it will be before we have a fix for this.
