It's not IPcop, but I need to unload and reload the USB drivers every now
and again.  Since unloading the driver kills the port, which kills the power
to the frog, it's probably a cleaner way of doing the same thing...

And the period varies.  Sometimes I got for many weeks, sometimes it's less
than a week.  I think it's more likely that it's random, rather than caused
by any specific event...
