It is hierarchical: each intermediate slave hub must engage in speed and bandwidth negotiation both up and down the line. I thought it simpler to say 'networking'. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

But can it be replaced for a few days/weeks (longer that it takes the regular one to crash), to see if another one will work reliably? I keep thinking it's gotta be the USB circuitry in the keyboard -- I'm assuming there's nothing but a USB cable between the keyboard and your computer. Maybe whoever customized the keyboard could diagnose/fix it. It may just be a bad chip or a loose connection inside the KB. -- Glenn English -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There is supposedly a USB standard, but not all implementations are created equal, and you might find a hub with which your keyboard is happier, and which has no problems with your computer USB port. USB is a moderately complex networking protocol, and there are definitely compatibility issues with some ports and peripherals. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is there any log entry(s) related to the keyboard? Sorry for the delay, i needed to wait for it to happen again. No, there are no useful log messages. When the keyboard drops off, there is nothing in the logs to indicate this; when i re-plug it, I get a usual list of messages with nothing indicating that theres a problem. At the (obvious in retrospect) suggestion of someone elsethread, I did just get a 6" extention cable, thus making it trivial to re-plug it when this happens. I'd rather it just works in the first place, but this will have to do. (The keyboard is a custom build and cannot be replaced.) Thanks.

In the event you can't fix it properly (faulty keyboard perhaps?), you could use an extension cable, or a hub?

Hi, i have a USB keyboard that, every week or three, will drop off, and require replugging to work again. It is immediately recognized and works fine after I do this This was the case on a previous Wheezy system, and it still happens on a Jessie box I built.
