USB devices can draw a certain amount of current, with a maximum of 500 mA in high power configurations. USB hubs, like root hubs, may be able to detect when that current limit is exceeded; if so, it's reported as an "over current" error. > and Is this error responsible for my device not > getting detected. Likely. When a port issues an overcurrent fault, the device connected to it is disconnected. We have seen cases where some USB controllers (EHCI and UHCI, I don't recall it with OHCI) *wrongly* report such over-current errors ... at least, "wrongly" in the sense that no device is connected, so we think the motherboard must be at fault, badly wired or whatever. - Dave -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
