Hi all,

I hope that this question hasn't been answered already 10 times, but haven't
found any such reference, so I take my chance.

When using Sierra Wireless miniPCI express modules on the Alix board with
voyage 0.6.2 or 0.6.5, and only when eth0 is both up and connected, there
are constant USB disconnects and reconnects from that module, as in (this is
0.6.5):

[ 1740.985847] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1
[ 1740.986735] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[ 1741.455468] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
[ 1741.459013] sierra ttyUSB0: Sierra USB modem converter now disconnected
from ttyUSB0
[ 1741.459925] sierra ttyUSB1: Sierra USB modem converter now disconnected
from ttyUSB1
[ 1741.460938] sierra ttyUSB2: Sierra USB modem converter now disconnected
from ttyUSB2
[ 1741.461478] sierra 2-2:1.0: device disconnected
[ 1764.881421] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address
3
[ 1765.020598] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 1765.024616] sierra 2-2:1.0: Sierra USB modem converter detected
[ 1765.027124] usb 2-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 1765.028032] usb 2-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 1765.028945] usb 2-2: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB2

This is repeated until infinity (or at least that's what I suppose).

I had contact with mr. Dornier from PCEngines, and we concluded that the
Ethernet drivers possibly were to be suspected of this behaviour. The reason
is that (for 0.6.2 at least), the base addresses found in ifconfig were
conflicting with the addresses of other devices on the board. I can provide
some documentation, but I'm not aware if it is accepted to attach files
here.

Anyone else having seen such things? I've seen this happening with MC8775
and MC8780 and MC8792V modules, so both voice and non-voice modules.

Thanks for any ideas.
