do a modprobe as root to use the usb1.1 driver instead of the usb2.0 and check if it will work with the usb1.1 driver. If it does, then the usb2.0 host controller on your pc probably already faulty.

#modprobe -r ehci_hcd

Doing modprobe -r ehci_hcd just hangs the terminal.

When I try utils like usbtree the terminal hangs too.

Hmmmmm, maybe you have some other problems as I never have that problem.

Can you try to do a "lsmod". If it works, then you can remove the the driver by doing a "rmmod ehci_hcd"
