[Bug 56163] Ubuntu 6.06 looses ADSL-connection when USB-stick used

[Edmund Laugasson]

Public bug reported:

Motherboard is Shuttle MV43N with chipset VIA P4M266 + VIA VT8235. LAN
adapter is VIA VT6103 and this is integrated with this motherboard. CPU
is Intel Celeron 1,7GHz.

Distro was Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and I made alternate install and also all
updates at 12th of August at 2006.

It updated also kernel to 2.6.15-26-i386 but I had to switch back to
2.6.15-23 due to broken sound. Then sound worked fine but when I
inserted USB-memory stick (Kingston 512MB), after some time ADSL-
connection is lost and impossible to reconnect. I made restart to
/etc/init.d/networking - no effect. Also sudo poff -a and sudo pon dsl-
provider did not help. I also restarted ADSL-modem - nothing. I called
to ISP and asked, what's wrong. ISP said - everything looks fine at
their side. Then I tested ADSL using System Rescue CD
(http://www.sysresccd.org/) and ADSL worked fine. Then I realized, that
hardware and ISP is fine - only my freshly installed Ubuntu 6.06 is
joking with me.

But after using System Rescue CD and its ADSL program, also Ubuntu
worked again with ADSL.

And it repeats if USB-memory stick is used again.
