I've got 10.6 installed, with almost everything working - apart from this.

If I eject a USB device my wireless stops working. No error messages to speak of - just no connection. The wireless is a Netgear WG811v3 (RTL8187). My USB controllers are all listed as built-in within the profiler. I've searched and this is not the same as the USB sleep errors - sleep works ok (with the SleepEnabler.kext)

Anyone seen this error before?
