I recently installed dsl software and hardware. Following this my computer (running win98) failed to shut down using the os, instead I had to hit the on/off button. Now, after bootup, the mouse and keyboard are dead. What can I do to fix this?

No I don't want to just fix it. I want to *KNOW* the reason. The USB-mouse and PS2-kybrd lose action. It seemed to happen often when I plugged a 1.5M USB-cable to my WiFi. I use mostly X86:Linux:Slakware13 but some comp.sys.raspberry-pi readers are hardware knowledgable. Probably related, is...
