Am I misusing the term 'error message'? Sorry. The above log entries cover a 4 second period and include the device disconnecting twice in that time. Note the device numbers that it's coming up as (54 and 55). Between ~0801 and 0847 yesterday, the "...new full speed USB device number..." appeared 767 times in /var/log/messages. I expect that the USB spec does not cover this type of scenario. I think that I'm seeing something similar to this: http://bit.ly/ssHC1Z, which highlights how flakey some device manufacturers are. > > thanks, > > greg k-h thanks for your help. tim-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
