Few days ago I bought a brand new Asus WL-500gP V2. After setting the internet connection I plugged my external HDD (320GB, WD Essential, 1x 512MB swap + 1x 1GB IPKG part + 1x EXT3 part). Everything worked well until I started transferring a movie (700MB) on the HDD. After 2 minutes the router stopped the transfer and I received a error "The network location is no longer available" (something like this). I tried again but it was useless.
Many users reported this kind of situations:

4) others ... google
Sometimes it happens when Transmission is working. I use the last firmware from Oleg (V2 ready).
I think there is a problem with the USB2 driver or the Broadcom chipset. Is there a way to change the USB drivers (to USB1.1) ? Will Kernel 2.6 fix this problems ? Are there any other solutions ?
I can`t belive ASUS shipped lots of products without
testing them and see if they can really work.
Please help !
Many thanks to Oleg, Wengi & the others !
