Dear Francesco Ferrara,

thanks for your support request.

Our engineers told me that the some problems with the USB drivers (HiSax
module as well as mISDN module) are known to them since a couple of
weeks: There were some changes in the USB subsystem of the Linux kernel
and now the entire USB systems seems to be a bit unstable respectively
not compatible to some existing drivers. So this problem is not only
related to the low-level USB driver of HFC-S USB, I assume.

Anyway, our engineers are working on this issue now.

Please wait for new driver versions resp. new Linux kernel versions ...

Sorry for not having any better answers for you at this stage.

Best regards,

However, now that the 7.10, codename Gutsy Gibbon, release of Ubuntu is out, we were wondering if you can still reproduce this issue. Could you please download and try the new version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and report back your results? If the issue is still present in the new release, please attach the output from the following commands:

* uname -a > uname-a.log
* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* after a fresh boot execute - dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
