As you can see, this runs every few seconds. It's filling up my logs and makes it hard to find more important messages!
Nothing seems amiss with USB itself. I have a USB network adapter and USB flash drive both working without any issues. The internal Memory Stick reader is also a USB-attached device, but I am not using it.
Can someone explain what these messages are? Did I perhaps enable some kernel option that I want to disable and recompile?
I'd unplug each USB device and see if these messages stop. For some reason, it's iterating up and down a connection with some device, but I can't tell which from the log you've included. Is this a Sony laptop?
uhci-hcd is your USB driver.
Another thing to do next time you post is to issue "lsusb" and post the results of that.
