Hi all,

Running knoppix on my workstation at work with an optical Microsoft IntelliMouse. After a set amount of hours however, the usb port appears to go into sleep mode. Every morning when I come to work my mouse is powered off and I have to replug the usb port in order for it to function again. Somewhat annoying, and some days the mouse keeps powering off repeatedly even while I'm using it. Google searches or forum searches have so far yielded no hints as to what is wrong..

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Atle
