I have 8 USB ports , a bank of the usual 2 and a bank of 6, 2 are physically attatched to the mobo, ported to the rear, 6 are on a rack and cable plugged to the mobo, ported to the rear.
As far as the usb hub is concerned they show up as 4 entries in the kde -info-USB devices, like so, USB OHCI Root Hub |____ Lexmark Z53 printer USB OHCI Root Hub USB OHCI Root Hub USB OHCI Root Hub every now and again the printer drops out of recognition and so I reboot which brings it back again, sometimes , modprobe usb-ohci in a root terminal works, sometimes it does not. This happens in M8.2 , and was the norm from first boot on M9.0 beta2 I never got any futher than that as far as the later betas are concerned. Basically USB detection of my usb printer is erratic. I suppose I should mention that the 8 usb ports on my msi mobo are both usb1 and usb2 , at least 4 of them can be usb2, I don't believe mandrake configures any of them usb2 though.
