So they were working fine prior to the kernel update,.

What I see in dmesg when I plug my device in:

[16709.071416] xhci_hcd 0000:0e:00.0: ERROR no room on ep ring
[16709.071419] xhci_hcd 0000:0e:00.0: ERR: No room for command on command
ring
[16709.071421] hub 3-0:1.0: couldn't allocate port 1 usb_device

I found this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/187644/error-no-room-on-ep-ring-with-usb-3-0-devicewhich
suggests update to 3.4 may fix the problem.
