I *do* think that things matter, since the driver used then is one of
the rt61pci or similars.

Do you want some scripts for a home-made cross-compilation environment?
I've quit compiling my own kernels for PowerPC, since on my x86-64
things are *sooooo* much faster.

Could you test it again, please? I just discovered that I have one exact
same card with the very same revision of yours and I used to have those
disconnects problems that you mentioned.
To be sure that we have the same hardware an "lspci -n | grep 0d.2"
would be helpful.
But running Ubuntu 8.04.x, I don't get them (I checked this a few
minutes ago, since I left my mom watching a video that was stored on a
SATA drive in an USB 2.0 enclosure).
