[unable to reproduce for now] huawei e220 (option module?) triggers weird usb behaviour and module crash

[Pedro Francisco]

NOTE: I'm unable to reproduce the issue for the time being, will try again later.

Huawei e220 (option module?) triggers weird usb behaviour and module crash

I'm unable to reproduce, I'm aware it happened at least twice with steps similar to these, but I'm not sure why it stopped working (didn't update):

* Boot Intrepid Ibex 8.04, Linux hostname 2.6.27-4-generic #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 01:30:51 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ;
* Use Huawei E220 ;
* Disconnect ;
* Hibernate ;
* Resume ;

At this point, everything's fine.

* Connect Huawei E220 ;
* USB Mouse pointer starts "jumping" on screen ;
* dmesg has the following errors:

Unplugging the Huawei E220 and doing:
----------------8<-------------------------------------8<--------------------
sudo rmmod option
sudo rmmod usbserial
sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo rmmod usb_storage
sudo rmmod libusual
sudo rmmod usbhid
sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
sudo rmmod uhci_hcd

sudo modprobe uhci_hcd
sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
sudo modprobe usbhid
sudo modprobe libusual
sudo modprobe usb_storage
sudo modprobe uvcvideo
----------------8<-------------------------------------8<--------------------
and connecting the device again seems to fix the problem.

Sorry for the noise, I was multitasking and ran apport-collect on the wrong bug :(
