I am having a problem with my USB devices restarting or dropping every so often. It is kind of strange, my keyboard will turn off and then turn back on but it won't have the G15 drivers and i will have to restart the G15 daemon (my mouse does it also but I never really notice it, the keyboard lights up so its easy to notice). That is really the only device that I am having a problem with restarting everything else just comes back on and works just like it was plugged/unplugged.

All the devices are plugged into the back of my motherboard USB ports no USB hubs or anything just directly into the motherboard.

Motherboard ASUS P5W-DH /w Core 2 duo E6700.

Well, nothing odd there. None of the experimental stuff is enabled. My only suggestion is to enable debugging messages for the USB subsystem and see if you can get anything useful that way. Hell, you could enable the experimental transaction translator stuff and see if that helps. Probably not, but it's worth a shot.

I have the same mobo with a Core 2 Duo. 2.6.17 is an old kernel for such a recent mobo & processor - I would suggest trying 2.6.20

There are several USB connections on the mobo - are they all affected?

I had some trouble getting my RAID to work properly in newer Kernels so I have been slow to update. I am sure that all my USB devices are affected but it is hard to tell since there is really no indicators and the restart period seems to be pretty random. I can really only notice my keyboard because A) it has the backlit keys turn off B) all the extra keys stop working because the g15 drivers are not reloaded.

I will try the newest kernel and see what I can get out of it (2.6.21). Had some trouble with 2.6.20-r2 and -r7, if that fails then i guess i will just live it with for a while.

I will post my results ASAP
