Are we talking about the same problem?  I'm referring to your posting

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg82153.html

which includes the log messages:

- ----
hub 2-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned address 6
drivers/usb/core/config.c: invalid interface number (1/1)
usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -22
hub 2-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned address 7
drivers/usb/core/config.c: invalid interface number (1/1)
usb 2-1: can't read configurations, error -22
- ----

If you got those messages before, then you got past the point of accepting
the device address and enabling the port, the problem mentioned here.  
The patch I sent you has no effect on the "device not accepting address"
error.  That's much more likely to be a problem in the device itself or 
in your USB cable, not in the kernel.
