I never saw traces showing the card should be resetted. It hung occasionnaly in the past but did not know who to really blame (USB vs drivers).

I'm not sure 2.6.9-rcx-mmx will provide valuable data, we will probably have to wait until distro incoporates this code to get some reasonnable hints... Do you have some well known driver users you could ping to get feedback more quickly? Anyway, you are aware of the problem and I know how to fix my problem so all is fine.
