This seems to be a common item in this bug report.  I saw this happen
on a non-Pearl device, in person today, and it was using the same
Ubuntu kernel.

People report on the Ubuntu forums that it worked fine in edgy,
stopped working in fiesty, and then starts working (sometimes
only occasionally) in gutsy.

I'm suspecting there may be a kernel change that's affecting this.
Other distros, like Fedora 6's 2.6.20.* kernel don't seem to behave
this way.

And it doesn't seem to matter about the hardware either.  A desktop and
a laptop both running Ubuntu exhibit this behaviour.

I'm taking a stab at looking at the kernel diffs... maybe I'll get
lucky and find what's going on. :-)

You might try upgrading to a gutsy kernel, and seeing if this fixes it for you.
Or perhaps compile your own 2.6.21.1 kernel.
