USB scanner interfering with WLAN?

[Kurt Granroth]

I just got an Epson 1650 USB scanner.  It works great with both the "normal" 
sane packages and the Epson provided tools.  However, I noticed that 
whenever I initiate a scan, my wireless network on that computer goes down.  
I can still ping to hosts on my normal ethernet network.. but nothing gets 
through my wlan0 one.  I am using the prism2_pci with a linksys pci card.

I did a decent amount of searching on the topic but came up with nothing.  
Anybody else experience this or (better yet) have a solution?
