I expected as much.  And it wouldn't surprise me if there is some bug
in the hardware.  Perhaps it's expecting a probe to it after a certain
stage before turning "on" or perhaps it can't handle some probe that
is being done to it by default, which throws it in to this weird
locked state until another probe for the descriptor which then resets
it?  Is there some way I could debug this?  Where can I find the code
in Linux which is doing this?  If I can duplicate that process under
my own control I could find out at least whether it starts off in a
working state, then dies, or begins dead until a delayed device
descriptor probe.
