Is it a powered or passive USB hub? Powered == gets electrical power from a power supply other than the USB port. Passive == get all power from the USB port only. If passive, there might just not be enough power being supplied from the USB port. Also, many many many problems reported to the Kernel USB list are resolved by using a new good quality cable. It is scary at how many issues are indeed resolved this way. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
