Yes! My USB modem doesn't work. It connects (with eciadsl) and seems
to set up a route properly, but the 'host' command fails immediately
after and then it locks up, 100% solid. Needs to be powered down by
hand, and I have reverted to an earlier kernel.

  And I didn't see a 'known cause' here. Knowing the kernel causes 
trouble is hardly 'know the cause'
