Hi list, since I updated to some of new linux kernels versions, I started to experimenting many problems with my usb devices / hub, which makes my computer works in a very strange manner. Researching on this direction on the web, I noticed that many people have the same/similar problem as mine, where always linux kernel kprints the following message to the dmesg output using this template: usb X-X: device not accepting address XX, error -XXX. Are kernel developers, mainly the usb team, aware of this problem? What should I have to do to find a solution for my case? This is happening with my laptop. I need to know if this could be a hardware problem, because my laptop is still under guarantee and if it is a hardware problem, I will contact the seller. Please, any suggestion/tip will be greatfully accepted. Thank you!
