In some ways, there seem to be two problems here:

1. some people get these error messages, and their hardware doesn't work

2. some people get the "unable to enumerate USB device" warnings, but their hardware does work. Leann Ogasawara notes at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256767/comments/14 that this is known to upstream and they consider it harmless, it's the report of a real potential error.

However, in case #2 there is still a problem from an end-user point of view: the error message is logged to syslog once a second. This is undesirable for all kinds of reasons, disk use, annoyance if I have to give syslog to someone for *real* hardware problems, etc. The logging of this error should be radically reduced, I'd really prefer, say, once an hour to once a second.
