After getting a Kensington Orbit Elite wireless USB trackball I ran into an annoying 
problem.
The mouse/trackball runs using the standard HID system meaning no special drivers.

Just plugging it into the USB gives me this error:
Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device 
number 3
Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 163
Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 
(error=-110)
Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device 
number 4
Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 
(error=-110)

Now... If I have the device installed and rmmod's the usb-uhci and insmod it 
afterwards I get this (which actually makes the unit work):
Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:11.2

Sometimes with a range of errors though stating problems like this:

This is on a SuSE 8.1 system (on our PPC machine running a SuSE preview of 8.1 PPC we 
cant make it work at all).

Anyone with any ideas of what is wrong?
Personally I lean to the USB software not working completely but does anyone know if 
this is being checked out?
It seems that alot of people have the "device not accepting address" issue.


Best regards
