[Bluez-users] Epox BT-DG02A crashes kernel 2.6.3

[Bluez-users] Epox BT-DG02A crashes kernel 2.6.3

[Ivars Strazdins]

hi all,

I'm trying to use Epox BT-DG02A USB dongle on HP Omnibook 6000 with 
gentoo linux and kernel 2.6.3, but the dongle crashes kernel 
intermittently. It happens almost every time I remove the dongle or try 
to remove uhci-hcd module after Bluetooth has been in use. In every 
other sense the installation is pretty stable and is working under heavy 
load and with various external devices including USB storage.
Yep, I saw that this dongle has NOT been reported as working in hardware 
list, but two other very similar devices (DG03 and DG02) were there.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

wbr,
ivars

this is a known problem with the current USB subsystem of 2.6.x. Use
"hciconfig hci0 down" before you unplug the device.

Regards

Marcel
