If Linux is doing differently, it's a bug on Linux which should be fixed :-) No host is allowed to source more then one unit load (100mA in LS/FS/HS, 150mA in SS) until the device is fully enumerated. Host are also required to drop max current budget to 8mA (IIRC) if the device doesn't enumerate for however many minutes (I guess it was a pretty long threshold, something like half an hour or so. My memory fails me right now). -- balbi
