There are a couple of releated issues in bugzilla for USB on FC2T3

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122093

My issue is with an external USB hdd - it doesn't get reconized
properly in FC2T3.

The same harddisk has problems in FC1 as well. For one - the drivers
misbehave after suspend/resume on my laptop - and then when it worked -
it just crapped out when I ran iozone benchmark. There are quiet
a few entries in bugzilla about usb issues - which haven't bee
fixed in any update yet (so no bugzilla entry on this from me)
