That's probably the easiest and most reliable way :)

In the meantime, you could always check whether your USB ports are set
to automatic power management:

  [davidp at columbia:~]$
  cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/level
  auto
  auto

If you get "auto", you could try forcing them to stay on - e.g. as root:

 echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/level

Worth a try at least, if you're interested.

Of course, you'd need to figure out which "usb$n" to use, depending on
which port it's connected to - or just set them all to on:

  for file in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/level; \
      do echo "on" > $file; done

Whether the above will actually make a difference, I don't know, but
could be worth a try if you're curious.  If you do, report back whether
it helped, so everyone knows if that's a potential fix for anyone else
who experiences the same problem :)
