Hi, meanwhile, I have some USB toys and so I bought a 4-port USB hub one year before. Unfortunately, it works horrible since I use kernel 2.6.x series. My UM-1S (USB2MIDI), my camera and even my mouse sometimes do not work with it. I guess that the included firmware does not always work like it should (update seems not to be available/possible). Because I recently bought an USB-audio-device, I need more ports and think about a 7-port USB 2.0 hub for usage on my USB 1.1-notebook. Does anyone here own such a device which works properly with a 2.6.x kernel, especially in conjunction with USB-audio and USB-MIDI-devices? I'll noone quote on a hint, so I'd really be glad to hear some experiences. Best regards ce
