Problem with usb cable: device descriptor read/64, error -110

[Kevin Zuber]

Hi Community, 

After a few days not using the usb cable and an opkg update and an
system update (Ubuntu with Kernel 2.6.24-20), the cable doesn't work
anymore.

Dmesg says:

[  211.983257] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 2
[  227.081309] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
[  242.288201] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

[  273.016294] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 4

I double checked it with another computer with an older system (Ubuntu
7.10 and 8.04 without updates), but the same again.

So it should be the cable (hardware defect?) oder the neo update (using
2007.2 with latest updates).
Did I miss something, any other ideas? Has someone this problems, too?

It also seems, that the neo isn't charging anymore when it is connected
to the cable. The usb power supply is still working fine and can charge
the neo.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
