Public bug reported:

Hello everyone,

I've got a really strange problem. Each time my WiFi card gets a new
TKIP key, the external USB devices (and the kernel usb module) crashes.

Example:
I'm copying data from my external hard drive on my internal drive. Then the 
WiFi card gets a new TKIP key. After that the USB controller (of my external 
drive) is never be able to register (also no /dev/sd*) again until I reboot.

I tested it with different hard drives - which were all okay, different
USB controllers (external controllers, IDE->USB) and different
manufacturers of hard drives. It happened each time while my WiFi card
got a new TKIP key. When my WiFi card was turned off (with the button on
my Compaq615 keyboard) - everything worked fine, also copying huge mass
of data (over 50GBytes to keep the data transfer going on a while).

Pretty strange, because I think it couldn't depend on a hardware problem
- the WiFi card uses PCI-X and the USB controller should run through the
southbridge.


Chipsets:
00:12.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller
00:12.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller
00:12.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller
00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller
00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller
00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller

...and...
06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

Thanks a lot,
Christoph
