LinuxQuestions.org - Strange interaction between mic/webcam and wifi + mouse

Hello, I had a HD Hue webcam with built-in microphone given to me
during a Christmas long ago. In the beginning. I never had problems
with it. The microphone on it worked out of the box. I may have just
needed to set it as the default audio input. And for the camera, I got
the microdia driver source, compiled from git, stripped debugging
symbols, modprobed it, depmod -a and all that good stuff, and it
worked, and a future release of that driver vastly improved the
quality of the webcam image.

Now with current Ubuntu distros, I plug it in, and Linux goes haywire.
For many days, I was trying to understand why my wifi had seemed to
quit working on me in Ubuntu Linux. It turned out that if I left the
webcam with built-in microphone unplugged and booted, everything was
fine. Now, I can have everything working, plug it in, set the
microphone as the default audio input. Then the wireless immediately
goes out. Shortly after that, the LED on the mouse turns off, and I
can no longer use the mouse. So what I did was, I intentionally caused
this to happen again, and using keyboard shortcuts to navigate around
Gnome, I was able to get some output right after it happened, unplug
it, use system alt req keys to reboot and send this email. Here's the
output.
