Pascal, this is still a problem with Ubuntu 8.04. I haven't had a chance
to test Intrepid.

A couple of other things I noticed:
- After the mouse or keyboard has stopped working it does not start working 
again if I plug it into the PCI card. I have to reboot to get them working 
again.
- If I run lsusb after the mouse has stopped working it hangs and doesn't 
return any output. I was unable to kill or kill -9 the lsusb process (although 
I didn't try sudo kill).

Someone suggested to me that this may be a faulty hardware problem. This
is a dual boot machine and I don't have the same problem with Windows
XP. It was suggested that Windows may be more forgiving to usb hardware
whereas Linux expects the usb hardware to behave in a certain way and it
causes problems when it doesn't.  I have no idea whether this is a
feasible explanation for the problem or not.

Also, is it worth renaming the bug to "usb device stops working ..." as
if affects both the mouse and keyboard.
