Hi Robert; First of all you will need a powered hub if you are using a wifi dongle. There is a list of compatible wifi dongles available.
Second, the hub should be powered up BEFORE the BBB is booted. I am currently running two memory sticks and a usb sound card from an unpowered 4 port hub from a local dollar store.

Hi Robert. I've been using a few different kinds of hubs with the host port on the bbb for some time now without any issues. Cable issue from the host port to the hub or are you trying with alternate cables?
