Dropping the power to the usb bus is making the modem play peek-a-boo with
the kernel: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10708.<http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10708>

Wondering if a flash-drive could become corrupt if the power was cut while
writing to the external device.....

The olpc-au tracker moved revised urls referenced in 10708:
http://sugardextrose.org/issues/387
http://sugardextrose.org/issues/1029/

Still present in 13.1.0-12
