CommandIR II compatability with NVIDIA chipsets

[Wayne a. H. <way...@al...>]

Hello,
after two whole days of trying to get my new CommandIR II operating, I finally 
stumbled across this paragraph in the support pages:

Unable to read version request - Is CommandIR busy?  Error -110
This error seen in the syslog or from running "lircd --driver=commandir -n" is 
usually resolved by plugging the CommandIR II into a powered USB hub.  Some 
newer USB chipsets, including some NVIDIA, cause this hardware level 
incompatibility.

This is exactly what I am experiencing, and sadly, I am using a relatively new 
NVIDIA chipset.  I assume that since the problem is with the chipset an 
externally powered USB hub won't solve the problem (I don't have a powered hub 
to test with).

Is this incompatibility likely to be solved soon (or is it even possible to 
solve)?
