Not sure. The configuration I used to build 2.5.64-mm6 was the same as
every other 2.5 build I've used recently. All of those included modular
usb, so I don't believe it is that. In my case 2.5.64-mm6 is the only
version on which I see this. My initial SWAG was some interaction between
the new pcmcia core and usb, possibly at the pci layer. I only ever try
very few mm kernel versions, so I don't have a whole lot of data at the
moment.
