Belkin USB 2.0 PCI Card Model F5U220

Has anyone had any luck using a Belkin 5-port USB 2.0 PCI card model F5U220 with a nano? If you check out the following posts from the 5G iPod forum, youll find that this card seams to work well in G4s and with the 5G:

Im hoping the the same holds for the nano!

This is the card that I have installed in my system. iTunes syncs perfectly with my iPod Nano. However my Mac won't wake up from sleep if the Nano is connected. If anybody knows how to resolve this issue...

Surely Apple will release an update which would resolve this issue that so many people are suffering from? The card is compatible with all other HW, so it is clearly Apple and not Belkin who need to address the issue.

I'm having a similar problem, and worse: I often get kernel panic's when trying to wake my PB from sleep when the Belkin card is connected.

Hope there's a resolution to this soon.

Have you tried moving the Nano to another hub (back of the computer or on an ACD) and putting something else on the Belkin card?

I had the same problem when I had my viPod connected to the Belkin 220 but when I moved things around and put the viPod on my ACD and other items on the Belkin ( scanner, printer and Mic) everything seems to be fine.
