Yesterday, this was working great.  This morning, when I turned on
the board, it can no longer find anything on the USB bus - nothing at
all.  This also applies to Linux when I boot from SD.  I'm really
confused :-(

If I boot the board using the 2011.06 U-Boot, all is happy again.
It looks like the USB HUB (USB3320) seems to be stuck in reset when
I use the latest U-Boot.

Ever hear of any problems like this?

Thanks
