I was able to reproduce this issue on my laptop. Very easy to reproduce. 1) Take a USB port 2) Connect USB hub to it 3) Try any USB device connected to the USB hub and notice that it never see it seen by the kernel.
So this isn't a machine specific issue. It's a problem for any USB hub. Though it does appear to relate to LP#88746 as pointed out above. If you unload then reload the ehci_hcd module then it works. -- Ubuntu 8.04.3 amd64 on Dell PE R610 : Front USB ports do not detect newly inserted USB device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
