Did the hub ever provide the change-in-status message to the os? So you were really over-draining the port power so the hub realized it? > Windows correctly displays this information with pop-ups and alerts > users about this. Windows does lots of different things, and Linux does lots of different things.

If you wish to write an application to do this too, that would be great. But it's nothing the kernel is responsible for doing. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
