The error -110 is a timeout. It simply means that the USB subsystem couldn't execute the USB transfer. We had comparable issues witht the mac80211 stack and I implemented here some controls to limit the number of USB packets to be queued for transmission. At least in my experience this limited the -110s for zd_chip_control_leds(). The device hangs might result from an unsuccessful reassociation, which is sometimes requested from the AP. It could very well be that the support for VIA USB host controllers is pretty weak in the kernel. I have a VIA-based USB 2.0 card in my oldest PC and it is consuming 10% of computation time on Linux box. Beside this the systems works well. But notify that I'm currently only developing the mac80211 driver.
