From the logs it tells me:
usb_ehci: fullspeed device connected, giving up port ownership

Which means that it's not a high speed device that EHCI can handle.

Combined with:
usb_uhci: no devices found

You seem to have a OHCI controller. OHCI is not currently supported, so the
device is essentially not seen. You could verify that by "la -R /dev/bus/usb"
which will give you only hubs and no devices. (the device detected by EHCI is
the software root hub which is always present)

You have to put your hopes into Salvatore as he is the one currently
implementing OHCI. I hope he will have something working soon so all those
with OHCI controllers and USB mice/keyboards can finally use Haiku.

You could go to ticket 1044 (general OHCI support).
