[App_rpt] New USB Fob attempt...

[Jim Duuuude]

I have seen this problem.  Are you using a USB hub, or are your devices directly connected into your computer??

We have had some very strange problems with some hubs.

You might want to ask either of the USB FOB developers Steve Henke or Jim Dixon to ssh into the machine to see what is going on with the USB channel driver and XPMR on your hardware platform. You might also want to try different hardware platforms and do direct installs (without using virtualization) to try and identify what makes the problem come and go.
