USB Ports not working.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has seen this before?
I have a laptop on which 2 out of 4 USB ports, and the internal wireless card have both stopped working. bit strange really, I'm wondering if it is something to do with the hardware abstraction layer, and if there is a command line that I can use to reinstate them.
Many thanks.

More likely to be a hardware failure.

Apparently it is a known issue with the latest software update for Gnome.
A simple command has got them back.
Cheers.
