Ethernet Causes Mouse Problems

jreeve17

Hello, I have just purchased the Raspberry Pi Model B and have found a problem. Whenever I plug the Ethernet Cord in. The mouse (in x) drops to the bottom of the screen. Also, and keys i press become stuck and keep repeating untill I press another. Without the Ethernet cable, however the Pi works fine. I have tired reinstalling the  wheezy and different mice, but nothing works. The Keyboard also works fine, as I have been using it with my laptop with no problem.

I am using the Rasbian Wheezy with the GE Multimedia wireless keyboard and mouse.

How would I be able to fix or prevent this problem from happening?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

 

Update: This problem is now happening even without the Ethernet cable plugged in. I have no idea why this is happening and still need help.

    I'm afraid this will be of no comfort to you, but Pi USB operation will forever be in the lap of the gods because of the limitations of the USB controller hardware built into the Pi's BCM2835 SoC.  It's well documented in many places on the RPF site, there are huge threads about the issue there, and RPF developers have acknowledged it many times.  The Pi's Ethernet is implemented over USB, so it's entangled in the USB problems.

     

    The advice given by others above is your only good way of moving forward, ie. stick to recommended USB devices and don't expect things to continue working when you introduce another USB device into the system.  That's just how it is.
