It's hard to say. Your log messages indicate only that the two components don't work together. You may be able to find out which one is at fault by connecting your reader to different computers and plugging different USB devices into your PC, and seeing which combinations work. > I ask because if there's a similar device that's > known to work, I can just go buy it; these things seem to range from $10 to > $25, and I'd consider that to be in the range that I'd rather just replace > the part rather than spend the time diagnosing the problem.

If your reader fails on a couple of different computers, that's a good reason for replacing it. If several USB devices fail to work with your computer, that's a good reason for buying an add-on PCI USB card.
