Hardware problem. You need a new system board. I had this
problem on my T41, devices would sometimes work, sometimes not
(depending on the reboot). If I plugged in a USB 1.1 hub, then pluged
the memory reader into the hub, it would always work at 1.1 speeds.
New system board, USB 2.0 works just fine.
