oops, my fault. I've tested with 2.6.16 and i've not been able to
reproduce it. Now i get (sometime) a different error:

Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2
Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: ftdi_sio 1-2:1.0: device disconnected
Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device

Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: ftdi_sio 1-2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial

Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c:
Detected FT232BM
Jul 7 17:06:36 aylook012 kernel: usb 1-2: FTDI USB Serial Device
converter now attached to ttyUSB1
Jul 7 17:06:37 aylook012 kernel: ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: FTDI USB Serial
Device converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0

I'll retry with 2.6.18-rc1 ASAP.

ciao
