Bug 7400

2.6.18 + zd1211_2006-09-20

for an unknow reason the device becomes crazy [1].
When I tried to remove the module, my system froze.

I wonder why the device disconnect like (I didn't do anything special) and
why the driver doesn't see that the device is not here.

It seems to happen because my ehci controler has some hardware bugs [2]

Alan stern :
Probably the hardware errors in the controller were too severe for the 
driver to handle.

I think you should stop using that EHCI controller.  Buy a cheap add-on
PCI USB controller card.
