Too bad you didn't mention that hub in your original posting.  :-(

You can try using different USB cables to attach the hub.  Apart from 
that, I don't know of anything you can do.

Well, there is one thing -- but it's awkward and you probably won't want
to do it.  In 2.6.21 it's possible to force the high-speed hub to run at
full-speed.  Then the stick would probably work okay, but it would be 40
times slower.  As would every other high-speed device plugged into that
hub.
