For my latest crash, the devices didn't disappear (in particular, e169-stats - which uses ttyU0.2 - kept running and there were no kernel messages). It seems to get worse the longer my system is running (or maybe the more often I connect/disconnect the E169). At least sometimes, the dropout _is_ triggered by a signal glitch (moving through cuttings and tunnels without in-tunnel coverage) but I've also seen it sitting at my office desk. The reconnect issues I have suggest that there's some sort of resource leak in the kernel as well. >How much traffic is being passed when the modem stops? In my case, virtually none - maybe 1 packet every few seconds (mostly due to chatting to Edwin and others on IRC). >sysctl hw.usb.ehci.no_hs=1 > >Before plugging the device. This will limit the speed to FULL speed only. It's a full-speed device only, so will this have any effect? ugen0.2: <HUAWEI Mobile Huawei Technologies> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON In my case, I'm also seeing situations where the modem will not reconnect (I get "Too many IPCP REQs sent - abandoning negotiation" from ppp(8)) until it is physically disconnected and reconnected. Associated with this, I notice an increase in active mbufs that I can't explain (last time, netstat -m was reporting ~840 active mbufs whereas I was expecting ~330). A full set of probe messages for me looks like: Aug 19 05:35:54 aspire kernel: u3g_huawei_init:253: Aug 19 05:35:54 aspire kernel: usb2_alloc_device:1762: Found Huawei auto-install disk!
