Comment 21 for bug 43305

After extensive testing using the LiveCD version of Intrepid Ibex Alpha5 I can confirm, in my situation, that the USB bug seems to be resolved. I've been running my toshiba m45-s165 for about 4 days now using an WD external USB drive, USB optical mouse and various USB memory card readers and have no experienced any hiccups. All devices function normally without interruption, and at their expected speeds. One thing I have noticed, though, is that network-manager no longer has an option for 64-bit WEP encryption password entry in the wifi login screen. I realize it's outdated and very insecure, and I'm not sure if this was intentionally phased out, butit is an annoyance. Also, i switched my router to 128-bit WEP key but it still refuses to log on, constantly throwing me back to the wifi login window, only with "WEP 40/128-bit hexidecimal" chosen instead of the regular 128-bit that i had selected before. I realize this may be a new feature, or a seperate bug, but I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

To sum up, the bug for all USB ports ceasing to function on the toshiba m45-s165 seems to have been resolved with linux-image-2.6.27-*, as far as I can tell. A big thanks to everyone involved. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers!
