Strange, my card is also a zonet USB 2.0 add-on card with VIA Vectro VT6212 
controller
Maybe the problem is that it is both usb-2.0 and firewire.

lspci gives:
Via Technlologies, Inc VT82xxxx UHCI USB 1.1 1106:3038 subsys 1106:3038
Via Technologies, Inc 2.0 [1106:3104] subsys 1106:3104
Via Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller 1106:3044 subsys 1106:3044

I found on:
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb2.html
The cards that do both USB 2.0 and FireWire have for some reason been a problem 
for many people, even those without built-in PCI bridges.

But the site does not give a solution.

It could also be  I am looking in the wrong direction and the problem is in 
kernel, libusb or recent SVN usrp driver.
