Ben,
I have many computers (all IBM/Lenovo) as well and my 300GB Maxtor OneTouch II 
USB hard drive used to work perfectly in Edgy for both laptops and desktops 
(using USB 1.0 or 2.0). Gusty somehow introduced the problem, and the problem 
is still on Hardy as far as I can tell. 

At some point it worked (in Edgy) and using the same hardware with
Gusty/Hardy introduced the problem. So the question is, was the
autosuspend introduced in Gusty what broke it or was it something else?
If it was the autosuspend, yes we have workaround but, how about getting
USB 2.0 and autosuspend to work at the same time. If it was not the
autosuspend, then we would like more debug done to see where's the
conflict in the echi_hcd module and hopefully get it fixed.

I also tried gOS and Linux Mint, but because they are based on Ubuntu
Gusty they have the same issue. I wonder if the Maxtor USB drives were
tested in Debian and therefore Gusty/Hardy.
