Are you running it through a hub?  If so, can you do w/o?
Have you tried swapping USB ports?

Subject: [juneau-lug] losing permissions

Kevin may be interested to know that his old Shuttle is still in running and 
providing support for my remote weather station.  This La Crosse
2316 weather station connects via ttyUSB0.

The problem: for unknown reasons the device periodically disconnects (see log 
below) and when it re-connects it has lost its elevated permissions and fails 
to upload the data.  It did it again today.  I logged in and did a "sudo chmod 
766 /dev/ttyUSB0 " & it's back up and working.  It just started doing this a 
month or so ago and this is the third time.

1) Why is it doing this?

2) How do I prevent it?

My previous attempt at creating a udev rule to set permissions was 
unsuccessful.  It has always lost elevated permissions when re-booting.  
In my latest attempt just now I added the line:
KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]*", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0766", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
to the file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/91-persistent-weather-usb.rules

Does this seem right?  Thanks for any help.
