I wonder if your motherboard only supplies low current to the USB ports when in off/suspend modes, and that upsets the dongle. What happens with a shutdown, mains power disconnect, wait a while, then boot? Though I wouldn't expect a small dongle to use a lot of power, it may be at the tipping point where a longer cable introduces a significant supply voltage drop. Some USB cables only have very thin wires in them. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
