And also, when is a hub ever reset? :)


You've got me there. I've heard that bus-powered hubs tend to be a bit unreliable.

I suspect hubs _should_ be getting reset sometimes when a USB KVM switches its ports to a different host ... people seem to report problems there semi-regularly. It's not like the various hosts are coordinating address assignment, for example!

Maybe smarter per-port power switching would make bus power surges
less of an issue ... right now the hub driver always turns on all
ports at once, which probably asks for out-of-spec surges when a
bus-powered hub is first turned on, and it's got several devices
already connected to it.
