USB hubs and the new Apple keyboards
Authored by: Bassman59 on Sep 17, '07 02:06:40PM

Sounds like that hub's power descriptors are broken.

In other words, it's telling the computer that it's self-powered when it's not. Since the computer thinks that the hub has a power supply, then it thinks that high-power devices (those that draw > 100 mA from the bus) are acceptable and will enumerate them (turn them on).

BTW, what's a "powered USB stick"?
