Hi,
this is the second time I've hit this problem. Luckily I was at the machine.
Here's a snip from /var/log/messages:

I noticed the connection was broken, so I check the end of the log tail -F , it was spewing new lines so fast the display could not keep up.
In matter of minutes it had created 221MB of log file. If I was not present this would have jammed the root partition with cruft.
After unplugging and reinserting the wifi USB dongle , which re-established the connection , here's the usb usage:
| Code: | bash-4.0#lsusb

Any idea what this may be caused by?
TIA, Gentree.
