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.
