Na gut -- so habe ich erwartet. Aber sicher ist sicher, vertrauen
ist gut, usw.
Or in english, I expected that, but it is always good to be sure,
as it is one of the problems or bottlenecks which I regularly
experience.

Das Problem ist, der Treiber erwartet BULK Datei, nicht ISOC, aber
das Kistchen liefert ISOC (isochronous) Datei. Deswegen kommt es
zu Probleme.
Or, the thing is, Linux is expecting to be seeing bulk data on
this particular alternate interface (6). If the receiver is not
delivering this, but is instead delivering isochronous data, it's
not in the same format and isn't properly handled by the driver.
Changing it so that the driver reads from alternate interface 0
results in all my hacked versions being able to read the data
properly. Even before reading isoc data through hubs was fixed
sometime around or before 2.6.18-ish.

Mein deutsch ist noch schlimmer, wie Du siehst :-) Verzeihung
wegen meine Muttersprache -- gerne schreibe ich, falls moeglich,
einfacher und verstaendlich.
Es gibt zwei moegliche Loesungen, entweder einen anderen Dateityp
aus'm `Endpunkt' zu lesen, oder aus ein anderem `Endpunkt' lesen.
Mein Kode ist leider nicht sauber. Es laeuft bei mir, aber
koennte Probleme bei anderen verursachen. Ich kann keine
Unterschiede zwischen `bulk' und `isoc' Datei auch mit 'nem
200MHz Server feststellen, und kann deswegen keine gute Wahl
zwischen die beiden entscheiden. Ich bin auch mit meiner Loesung
nicht ganz zufrieden.
Or, I hope you see from my dreadful sentences above that you need
not be ashamed of your english, but I will be happy to re-phrase
and try to clarify anything I have written.
My work-in-progress patches try to use the two possible solutions,
without affecting anyone whose receivers work, but I have not
found a clear reason to favour one solution over the other. The
solution which I think stomps less on the existing code is not
perfect (first tuning fails), and after getting my receivers to
work with both possibilities, I have not tried to clean up the
two solutions for submissions as possible patches.
Hast Du die 2.6.32 Quellkode? Kannst Du aus `patches' etwas
schaffen, und dabei die beide Moeglichkeiten testen?
(Are you able to build a new kernel to test my patches to see
if they solve your problem?)
