Actually, USB2 hubs should now work well enough to talk to USB2 devices (they work for me connecting USB2 umass devices anyway), but we don't have support for talking to USB1 devices via USB2 hubs yet. >I don't think ehci knows how to talk to non-high-speed devices.

That's the way EHCI is designed to operate; directly connected USB1 devices are handled by the companion USB1 controller, not EHCI. Ian
