Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot try your suggestion at the moment as I do not have the beaglebone black here with me at the moment. If the problem turns out to be the hotplugging bug, is there any sort of patch to fix the bug? I'm planning to use the beagleboard in a production environment, so I would really prefer not to add an extra piece of hardware to the equation.
Maybe I should approach the problem from a different angle. Are there any Xbee capes out there for the beaglebone black? That would work out much better than having a cable and a Xbee USB adapter, and would reduce the probability of failure somewhat.
