I also confirm the solution given by Nikolai. Installing the linux-image-extra-3.8.0.26-generic pachage solved the USB port problem.
Hopefully my update proces description may help in further debugging.
Laptop: IBM Thinkpad T42 with Kubuntu 12.04. Distribution upgrade through Muon package manager to 12.10. No problem.
Distribution upgrade to 13.04 failed because I had to install the Fake-PAE patch because this old laptop has a Pentium-M processor.
After installing 13.04 the touchpad and keyboard worked but the USB-ports didn' t so the USB-mouse and USB-drives did not work.
After installing the suggested linux-image-extra package and a reboot the USB-ports work fine again.
