    Couldn't find any posts with this problem. I have a Toshiba Tecra, XP sr2.
    Machine has only 2 USB ports so bought a Belkin mini-hub, which runs on
    generic USB hub driver. With ADSL modem in 1 USB port (it doesn't like the
    hub), and mouse + Lexmark X1180 printer/scanner in hub all works fine, except
    that _sometimes_ on reboot neither the hub nor connected devices are
    recognised. Only solution then is to unplug hub, unplug all devices from
    hub, reconnect hub, then reconnect devices one after another. Belkin says it
    has nothing to do with them. Toshiba won't answer me at all.
