Updating BIOS did not change the failure symptoms.

If I boot linux 3.2.0-40-generic, the system hangs in a loop, presenting
the message:

...

/var/log/syslog:Aug 8 22:47:12 P9X79 kernel: [ 57.496658] usb 6-1:
device not accepting address 20, error -71
/var/log/syslog:Aug 8 22:47:13 P9X79 kernel: [ 58.232589] usb 6-1:

/var/log/syslog:Aug 8 22:47:14 P9X79 kernel: [ 58.972486] usb 6-1:
device not accepting address 24, error -71
...

forever.

This does not happen with linux 3.2.0-38-generic.
