[arm-allstar] USB Goes to Sleep

[David McGough]

Hi David,

Is this node setup for any permanent outbound connections? If so, there 
have been reports of this issue during network outages.

Basically stated, if DNS doesn't time-out promptly (as expected), it can
cause an rpt thread timing problem to interrupt operation; the URI
heartbeat LED blinking slowly is a symptom.

I've already released one update for this issue that reduced the
likelihood of occurrence. I've got another update in pre-alpha (meaning
it's not quite complete) that'll fully resolve this issue.

As a work-around which will completely solve the problem now, just setup 
the permanent connection in the opposite direction, meaning don't use: 
repeater ---> hub. Rather, use: hub ---> repeater permanent connections.

not pass audio randomly I think.  When it occurs, I was monitoring 
Sulphur and Telco allstar rf sites. I would key the Arlington Allstar rf 
hub site via allstar. I could see ptt's on Sulphur and Telco.  Audio 
would not pass to the allstar repeater at Sulphur Springs. I booted the 
node and all works. I have had to do this 3 times over 24 hours. When it 
occurs, is there anything I should be looking at to track this issue 
down??Logs say:kernel retire,_capture_urb 5000 callbacks suppressedThanks David KG5RDF
