For posterity and future web surfers: This error message can also be caused by failing hardware. (This error crops up in bug reports that are never resolved because the poster does not return to announce "actually, my USB died.") In particular, http://www.fixya.com/support/t1964855-ibm_thinkpad_t43_freezes_until_pressure will cause this error to be thrown. In laptops, it is often due to the motherboard flexing over time and solder connects breaking loose, and T43s are not the only victims; many different kinds of laptops display similar problems. However, in this case all your USB devices would fail, not just a single device, and pressure or flexing may not solve the problem.
