Could a PCI card cause a USB reset?



Hi,

We have a strange problem where initialising a PCI-based scientific digital camera is causing writes to a USB serial adapter (Keyspan) to hang our software. We are slightly stuck in the middle of this (not having access to the driver source code of either the PCI card or USB device), but my suspicion is that the PCI driver is causing a USB reset, which is in turn getting the Keyspan adapter into a strange state behind the back of the Keyspan driver.

Does anyone know if a PCI device driver could cause a USB device to stop working in this way? I guess that the USB controller is a device on the PCI bus, but is there any way in which a PCI driver could affect devices other than the ones they are supposed to be controlling?

Cheers,

Steve.
