No. The transmission has timeouts too, however much less frequent. It took
me 5 "dd" runs on the 2 GByte stick to get to that point. The next three
runs all had problems with the last run unhampered.
But I tried the same sticks and similar combinbation of read processes on
the sticks on a thinkpad and observed zero dropouts.With 3 sticks, I got the
disk hroughput up to about 28 MByte and was even seeing DVB-T via a USB
Cinergy T2.
So either the EPOX board has problems, or the VIA Chipset, or our ehci_hcd
implementation.

Does this long timeout make sense on a USB stick. No disks to spin up, no
heads to move.
