I am working on something similar. 
After a device reset a hub drops PORT_CONNECTION
flag from wPortStatus. The reason is unknown.

Unfortunately, I do not have a hardware that exibits this.
If would be invaluable someone enabled
dbg() in devices/usb/hub.c only, run the test with
BOTH working (2.2) and not working (2.4) kernels
then sent me dmesg. If you do, please tell me precisely what
you were doing to trip this.

Here is an example of a change:

+++ linux-2.4.2-0.1.19-p3/drivers/usb/hub.c     Tue Mar 13 13:49:32 2001

 #include "hub.h"

+/* P3 #23670 run01 */
+#undef dbg
+#define dbg(format, arg...) printk(KERN_DEBUG __FILE__ ": " format "\n" , ## arg)
+
 /* Wakes up khubd */
 static spinlock_t hub_event_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
 static DECLARE_MUTEX(usb_address0_sem);

Example output of broken kernel:

ub.c: enabling power on all ports

hub.c: Maybe the USB cable is bad?

Now I need something like that for a working kernel
on the same hardware.

I'll let folks know if I find anything. If anyone wants
to investigate in parallel, it would be appreciated too.
