I was about to ask you if it wasn't one of the devices plugged into
the hub and not the hub itself.  Glad I read the next message. :-)

A friend of mine has a Saitek joystick that when plugged into his
FreeBSD 4.3 system causes the same problems.  I thought it was just
another mis-behaved USB device and told him to keep it unplugged.
He's not likely to use it with FreeBSD anytime soon, anyway.

IIRC, the joystick that my friend has is also force-feedback.
Coincidence?  I've got a force-feedback USB joypad that I can plug in
and see if there are any problems.  I haven't tried lately, though
FreeBSD was happy with it when I tried a few months ago.
