Yes it does. It's uhub7 (see dmesg of original email). I don't see
it happening with another OS, mostly because I only use another OS
when I'm blackmailed to do so (which doesn't happen that often).
Plugging it out and re-in solves the issue.

About the weather induced static (dryer air etc), could well be, then
again I'm not that long running on 5.99.3 and never saw it happening
before IIRC. But the static would explain it well and I think it's been
different time periods it took to drop out of working mode so I'll go
with that for the time being.

Thanks,
