[ltp] Problems accessing USB 2.0 disk from T40

[Victor Pechorin]

Hi,
I have the same problem on T40+RH9 with WD 200 Gb combo USB/FireWire
drive, kernel 2.4.22-ac4, after transfer 50-60 Mb it freezes for 4-5
seconds... But i've found that the same problem is on another computer
with Win98SE. But it works without breaks and very fast on the same
T40+WinXPPro.
