sorry for taking so long to get back. busy problematic times.

the dumps and ifconfigs are a bit less 'clean' because the router
serves several other computers (none of which have this issue
(windows)) here's the ifconfig -a from the router.

usbserial is not loaded. actually from reading the patch submission I
suspected the official cause might be off... but I'm not kernel
programmer all I know is where I could see the loss during tests.and I
haven't been able to reproduce over dozens of reboots from this
2.6.31.1-test-00091-gfa31221 kernel.

I totally forgot to do it during the dump's so I hope these are still useful

I haven't rebooted this in a few weeks (the router)

this is the ifconfig -a from my desktop while experiencing the issue
