[wplug] Mouse problem persists - any ideas?

Fri Mar 14 23:48:53 EST 2008

My mouse [Logitech 3 button wheel mouse (middle button) which USB but
plugged into USB<->mouse port converter] will randomly move around,
sometimes it clicks (I do not touch the mouse when this happens),
sometimes the cursor disppears for up to a minute and I can't move.

2.6.20 kernel, here is what I see in /var/log/kern.log.0:
