Hi,
I finally got 5 USB keyboards together along with 2 hubs.
I daisy-chained the hubs and connected 1 keyboard to the hub that is
on the notebook computer USB port, then I connected 4 keyboards to the
second hub. They all worked for me, meaning that I can type on all of
them and have their characters show up on my console.
I'm testing with 2.6.7-rc2.
'usbtree' output of the USB subsystem is attached.
