If you read the archives http://lists.suse.com/archives/linux-usb/
you'll see this discussed in August and September. To fix it the
uhci driver needs to ignore other drivers' interrupts, and the
keyboard driver needs to handle non 0 status packets. Patch to
uhci was posted in:
http://lists.suse.com/archives/linux-usb/1999-Sep/0030.html
and the suggestion for the keyboard fix (not implemented, since I
don't have one) was in:

Works for me in 2.3.15 and 2.3.16 preferably with the above patch.

Don't know about that.

It isn't closed. In fact it seems impossible to subscribe to. I've sent
4 or 5 requests and received no replies, so I read it via the archives
and post to it without subscribing.
