In the "General setup" options for kernel .config file, there is an option called "Configure standard kernel features (expert users)." There is also an associated admonition: "Only use this if you really know what you are doing." Since the help descriptions for these options are fairly easy to understand I decided to manually set some of these options. For reasons that I can't understand this caused the USB problems. Setting this option to "No" fixed everything and now the kernel-3.4.4 works nicely. It would be beneficial if anyone who truly is an "expert" could comment on how setting these options could wreck the USB system. Frank Peters
