Problem to reconnect under linux FW29

same problem for me using Ubuntu EEE, Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-21-eeepc, with sansa clip silver (4GB). also indicator of battery matches with what’s been noted here already.

plugged in while booting: works, clip is also charging

unmounting and replugging: doesn’t work. clip is not charging

  then  sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd : works, clip charging again.

no clue what the above code means. Would it be possible to adapt something so it works permanently? Appearently the problem lies there?

 anyways, thanx Nothingman
