Just tested with 2.6.27-3-generic on t41p and the issue is still the same:
- using ehci_hcd gives repeated:
Sep 16 00:53:59 tiber kernel: [ 236.312069] usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 25
Sep 16 00:54:02 tiber kernel: [ 239.432060] usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 41
[..]

- on one usb stick it falls back to uhci pretty soon:
Sep 16 00:56:11 tiber kernel: [ 368.588075] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
Sep 16 00:56:11 tiber kernel: [ 368.736047] usb 2-1: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
Sep 16 00:56:11 tiber kernel: [ 368.800930] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

- on another the ehci message gets repeated around 50 times until it falls back.

so, it seems falling back to uhci works somehow. which is good, and its not the biggest showstopper anymore :)

but, falling back to uhci is not really nice if usb adapter *and* usb device are high speed (aka usb 2.0) devices :-/

I have to confess, I don't unterstand the problem in full depth yet, where exactly is the culprit we are looking for? kernel? and where exactly is to distinguish between suspend capabilities and high speed usb devices? (ben collins mentioned a decision which was taken about that ..)

I'm going to try LiveCD later. Just took the intrepid kernel in for testing now ..
