That's a well known bug, afaik there are two patchs somewhere on
ultralinux.org (can't find the url in my bookmarks, sorry) but they are
not really efficients. Basicaly they reset the card a few seconds after
the timeout, so you don't have to reboot but you can't exchange a lot of
data without a timeout....
Finally I concluded that kernels 2.4.x deeply sux when they have to deal
with HME cards.
