Palm not syncing

My Palm wasn't connecting correctly to my Linux netbook. I was getting some weird errors in the logs:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-1: device not accepting address 5, error -71
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1


After hunting and hunting (and not saving the page that gave me the answer), I discovered this is related to a bug on the Palm. The page I found suggested a reset. So I did, and it synced up right after that.
